[Qt-interest] Default application for Mime type

Hi,

I am writing a file-browser like application, and I want to find and run the 
associated application when the user double-clicks on a file.

So for example, if the user double clicks a file /some/path/test.avi

I want the default application that handles avi's to open (windows media 
player, mplayer, etc.)

Is this information available through Qt?

I found QMimeType, but that seems to be mobile-platform only.

Cheers,
Jason
