It makes sense since pstscript files are text files.
If you disable the ps preview but don't disable text preview, konqueror will
preview the files as text files.
I don't see anything going wrong there.

No, they aren't. They are application/postscript. They are NOT text
files.
By your same rule, PDF files are also text and thus, their code should
be shown as well.

As fas as I can tell this behaviour is intended by upstream.
/usr/share/mimelnk/application/postscript.desktop
includes the lines
[Property::X-KDE-text]
Type=bool
Value=true
which causes the descibed effect. Setting Value=false makes postscript
files render as icon only, like PDF files.

What a hack! Couldn't just Kate handle application/postscript directly
instead of needing to be lied about it?
Anyway, thanks Andreas, that is a sensible answer and I guess that this
goes beyond Konqueror and it involves more complex MIME stuff.
Thus, you may reject the bug if you wish.

Just a final note: why the same behaviour doesn't apply to EPS files?
They are just postcript. Preview for EPS files is handled by the
Postscript, PDF and DVI option (nor image, nor text).
Whatever...

Yes, it's a hack from the time when there was no real inheritance in the
mime spec from freedesktop.org. KDE4 will use the new spec and this hack
will no longer be needed.
KDE needed this in cases when there is no specific mime handler
installed, but the mime type is (also) a text format, so that
Funny, instead of being able to disable text preview for PS files, now I
am going to get it also for EPS files. Well, I guess I was too quick
reporting this ;-)
As I said, feel free to close/reject this.

Thanks Andreas for the detailled explanation.
I'm rejecting this, since it is intended upstream.
