KDE 4 (SVN) eps file previews not working

I just finished getting kde4 SVN to install a few days ago and things are going pretty good. One issue that I am having (besides the occasional plasma lock widgets crash) is the file previews in konq and dolphin do not work right for eps files. For text files and images things work fine. The eps files show up like a text file would with a text rendering of the document. Can somebody give me a hand in figuring out what I need to do to get the eps / ps / pdf previews working. Thanks for any info.

The output from debugging on current trunk leads me to this:

Source code

kio_thumbnail(11875) ThumbnailProtocol::get: Wanting MIME Type: "image/x-eps"
kio_thumbnail(11875) ThumbnailProtocol::get: using thumb creator for the thumbnail
kio_thumbnail(11875) ThumbnailProtocol::get: Guess plugin:  "textthumbnail"

So there seems to be an error in the file association.
So go to Konqueror ->Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> File Associations, search for x-eps. And then in the "Embedding" tab, add "Embedabble Image Viewer (khtmlimage)". Should now be the first one.
And now it should work in Dolphin, too.
