KDE Mime Type Issue

KDE3 freaked out on me recently.

If KDE says: "could not find mime type" (application octet-stream)
You do:
-> Delete '~/.kde/share/mimelnk/application/octet-stream.desktop'
-> reboot
OR
sudo kcontrol
-> File associations
-> "Add"
-> group: application
-> type name: octet-stream

Now do: happy dance
