Hi,

I want to change the mime type definitions on the system level on a KDE 3.3.0
 on a Gentoo machine. Which of the system level files holds the definition of
 the application to be executed for a given mime type

The 'desktop' file for an application has a list of MIME types that it is associated with.

For the new (XDG) menu system these would be in "$KDEDIR/share/applications" or a subdirectory of that directory -- the KDE applications are in the subdirectory: "kde". For the old menu system, these are in a subdirectory of: "$KDEDIR/share/applnk".

and how do you change the order of the applications?

You can specify: "InitialPreference=" in an application 'desktop' file. However, this is overridden by the user's: "$HOME/.kde/share/config/profilerc" file. AFAIK, there is no global 'profilerc' file.
