open system-settings. Open mime/applications/whatever submenu (called 
'Dateizuordnungen' in German). 

application-xtroff-man
and
application-xtroff-man-compressed

should be the things you have to set. Click on 'embedded' and choose KManPart

And that it is always shown in the embedded part.

We are talking about KDE here - not gnome. It should not be necessary to fiddle 
with desktop files.
