  File extensions:

 tlz
 txz
 xz
 tar.xz
 lz
 tar.lz
 lzma Thanks!
...

 How do these extensions get recognized automatically by KDE? When I select
 a txz file in konqueror the context menu should automatically provide the
 option to open in Ark. this does not happen until after I manually add the
 extensions. There are four new mimetype files that need to be installed to the
system,
and probably added to your local copy of
kdelibs/mimetypes/application/Makefile.in as well.  They are:
kdelibs/mimetypes/application/x-lzma.desktop
kdelibs/mimetypes/application/x-tlz.desktop
kdelibs/mimetypes/application/x-txz.desktop
kdelibs/mimetypes/application/x-xz.desktop
...

 Are the new packages supposed to add those extensions automatically? If
 so, where? A *.desktop file? Possibly I need to patch a makefile
 on-the-fly much as I did for ensuring the desktop files get added to the
 kdelibs package?
