[PyKDE] KMimeType.findByPath return value

[Daniel Naber]

Hi,

the documentaton says that KMimeType.findByURL() returns an instance of a 
KService, I assume the same is true for KMimeType.findByPath(). However, 
how can I simply get the service's name? I can print it like this:

self.mimetype = KMimeType.findByPath(url).name()
print "mimetype=%s" % self.mimetype

Output is something like "mimetype=application/x-shellscript", but this is 
still of type 'instance' and thus cannot be used for 
KServiceTypeProfile.preferredService(). How can I make the name a string? 
str() around the right side of the self.mimetype=... leads to a crash 
where the KDE crash handler pops up (backtrace below).

I'm using the 20021122 snapshot RPMs for Suse 8.1

Regards
 Daniel
