kde-i18n-ca: Extend and embrace

So for KDE 4 we switched from using KDE's own mimetype database to shared-mime-info from freedesktop (thanks David!) this has lots of advantages i don't need to explain, the only obvious problem i could find was the lack of translation to Catalan, but that can easily fixed when you are a translator yourself and you know how to trick others to finish your work, so thanks to Josep Ma. Ferrer and me, shared-mime-info has now a translation to Catalan :-) And the good thing of sharing things is that gnomies, xfceis, roxies and all others using shared-mime-info will benefit from our translation :-)

Is KDE4 also going to use the shared mime actions for storing app preferences?

Is Gnome 2.18 or 2.20 already using these shared-mime-stuff?

"GNOME uses the system since version 2.8 (Sep 2004)." says http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications_2fshared_2dmime_2dinfo_2dspec

#1 -> "This specification is in the requirements-gathering / early-planning stages." so having no idea, i would say no.
