I'm not sure this patch is correct: on my Debian Testing machine 
application/x-win-lnk is defined in /usr/share/mime/packages/kde.xml 
which comes from the kdelibs5-data. I also found a reference to this 
package in the kdebase-runtime Fedora 11 runtime.

So this MIME type may not be standard (heck it has the 'x-' prefix 
anyway) but KDE seems to know / be using it.

I found it on /usr/share/mime/packages/kde.xml on Slackware 13.37 as 
well. It's included in kdelibs package.

Odd, I'm on KDE but my shortcuts are all application/x-ms-shortcut (Natty).

I had a quick search through the kde sources and it seems KDE might be
forcing x-win-lnk for some windows-specific behaviour. At least it's
there in a bunch of tests, but no app seems to actually use it.

I'll file a bug with KDE and see what else references it. Should the
commit be reverted or is it a case of fix-it-upstream?

Jerome Leclanche : wine.desktop: Remove the nonexistent application/ x-win-lnk MIME type.

Fixed in kdelibs 5552b1f68348ff5a5cc4a20b661a1ba3ad7bafe2:
https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdelibs/repository/revisions/5552b1f68...

After a little more search, turns out it was just registered as a
helper for a kde 3.x plugin which hasn't been provided for quite a few
major releases. It also seems to be where it originated from in the
first place.

Jerome Leclanche : wine.desktop: Remove the nonexistent application/ x-win-lnk MIME type.

[Scott Ritchie]

A .desktop entry pointing to a nonexistant mime type is harmless, so I'd
revert the change.

Indeed only a year ago Wine's .desktop entry pointed to MANY
non-existant mime types.
