Bug Description

I installed Hardy Heron beta from the Kubuntu-KDE4 alternate CD for i386 and kept the machine up-to-date via the Hardy repositories. Since about three-four days ago, whenever Konqueror (from KDE4) encounters a plain text file, it offers OpenOffice.org Writer (!) as the associated application. This should be set to something more sane, like e.g. Kate or Kwrite.
The same holds true for Dolphin-KDE4.

Steps to reproduce (at least for me):

- Point Konqueror to a (remote) plain text file, like http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/kubuntu/8.04/MD5SUMS .
- The dialog pops up to ask 'Save / Open with "OpenOffice.org Wordprocessor" / Cancel'.

I can confirm this behavior. By default, clicking on a text file in Dolphin will make OpenOffice open it. I totally agree that Kate, which comes with Kubuntu-KDE4 by default, be used as the default plain text file opener.

Easy fix: Kate's desktop file just needs an InitialPreference=N stanza.
