+If GNOME or KDE desktop environment is installed, then wxMimeTypesManager 
+gathers MIME information from respective files (e.g. .kdelnk files under KDE).

 NB: Currently, wxMimeTypesManager is limited to reading MIME type information
 but it will support modifying it as well in the future versions.

+Global instance of wxMimeTypesManager is always available. It is defined
+as follows:

+\begin{verbatim}
+wxMimeTypesManager *wxTheMimeTypesManager;
+\end{verbatim}

+It is recommended to use this instance instead of creating your own because
+gathering MIME information may take quite a long on Unix systems.
