Very simply, *.kilepr Kile Project files are treated as plain text after installing kile.
It would make much more sense to change file association settings at install time, and tie *.kilepr to its mother application.

Work around in Kubuntu 10.04:
System Settings > Advanced > File Association > text > x-tex
and add *.kelpr to "Filename Patterns".

Fixed for maverick in the new version just merged from debian.

As a workaround for Ubuntu 10.04, it is also possible to fix the mime type for a single user by creating file .local/share/mime/packages/kile.xml in the user's home directory.

The correct file can be extracted from the updated package (kile_2.1.0~svn1112278beta4-2ubuntu1_i386.deb):

$ mkdir temp
$ dpkg -X kile_2.1.0~svn1112278beta4-2ubuntu1_i386.deb temp/
$ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/mime/packages
$ cp temp/usr/share/mime/packages/kile.xml ~/.local/share/mime/packages
$ update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime/
