It did here. I upgraded to 3.5.5 I think the day after it was released. |
36 |
On starting KDE (from a CLI login not from xdm/kdm/gdm/whatever), I get a |
37 |
bunch of complaints about undefined mimetypes similar to those above, but |
38 |
everything continues to work. I think the problem is that nearly all my |
39 |
menu entries are customized, and of course those don't change with the |
40 |
installation, so as mimetypes change or get reassigned, my menu entries |
41 |
have gone stale and no longer correspond with KDE's entries. However, |
42 |
everything still works. The only thing that might have happened is that a |
43 |
few of my filetype/mimetype associations got set back to the default, and |
44 |
when I click them and the wrong thing pops up to open them, it's simple |
45 |
enough to reconfigure it to the order I prefer once again. |
