Hi all. This is a little 3 steps HOWTO to make Konqueror run gambas 
applications when you click on it. 

Note: YOURKDE is the installation directory of KDE in your system. 
In my Slackware 10.0 is /opt/kde. To know yours just type 
on console: kde-config --prefix.

1) create the text file YOURKDE/share/mimelnk/application/x-gambas.desktop
Edit it and add these lines:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Comment=Gambas Executable
Comment[it]=Eseguibile Gambas
Icon=binary
Type=MimeType
MimeType=application/x-gambas

2) create the text file "YOURKDE/share/applnk/.hidden/gbx.desktop"  (see the 
dot before hidden) 
Edit it and add these lines:

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=gbx -x
InitialPreference=1
MimeType=application/x-gambas
Name=gbx
Terminal=false
Type=Application

WARNING: next file already exists!!! You have just to edit it... Be 
carefull!!!

3) Edit the file "YOURKDE/share/mimelnk/magic" and add this line:
0      string     #!/usr/bin/gbx    application/x-gambas

That's all. Restart your kde session. The gambas executables
will have the generic icon "binary" and you will be able
to run them just clicking on them.

Ciao,

Stefano

P.S. This is tested with kde 3.2.3 and Slackware 10.0
