Please add post installation procedures to kde packages

When installing KDE packages, it is usually a good idea to run kbuildsycoca4 and also update the xdg application and mimetype databases. I know that pacman provides the means for doing so, so please KDE packagers, add this to your packages

Example: The koffice-filters package needs to run kbuildsycoca4, otherwise it can not use the included wv2 library for opening word files. Packages containing .desktop files for applications and mimetypes needs to update the application and mime-type databases (see xdg-mime(1) and xdg-desktop-menu(1))

Open bug reports if you feel these packages are broken. The forums aren't the right place for this sort of thing.
