Yeah, Kile works without Dolphin and Konqueror, that is why it recommends but not depends them ;)
Anyway. From the arch forums thread you linked to this sounds more like a general problem with mimetypes being all screwy as soon as another app than Nautilus declares mimetype handling on x-directory/*. Therefore I am moving this bug to Nautilus for further processing. IMHO Nautilus should always be default unless the user himself changes it to something else.
In KDE there is a special property for desktop files, so that some app would always be default unless overridden by the user. Possibly there is something similar for GNOME?
