mimetype error in subtitleeditor package

[GarthPS]

Subtitle editor comes with thise mimetype definition
MimeType=application/x-microdvd;application/x-subrip;application/x-subviewer;text/x-mpsub;text/x-ssa;text/plain;
which is wrong for this part "text/plain;".
Because of that mimetype definition for text (every king of texts) is overload by subtitleeditor and then it is launched instead of the proper text editor.
Kubuntu64 11.04 here

The problem is it overrides other software, but it can handle plain text (some subtitles are marked as such), so I think it it a mistkae to remove the mimetype altogether.
