I just added a work-around about his in KDE-Base-Workspace 4.0.1. I also 
reported a bug to KDE team: this has been fixed in the trunk version (I 
think I'll have to report a bug for each package!). So hopefully next 
versions of KDE will not require any patches.

Again I added the shared-mime.info requirement in the 4.0.1 version. Not 
sure about how dealing with the Perl-XML-Parser dependency.
