I think there may be a more elegant solution ...

I forget what distribution of linux you're running but on openSUSE you 
can change it: Start Menu->Personal Settings->File Associations

And for syntax highlighting, while in kwrite look under 
Settings->Configure Editor then find the Highlighting Text Styles tab 
... click on the Highlight drop down and I have a Sources/POV-Ray3.7 
entry that you /may/ not have on your system! Look in 
povray.binary.utilities and find my post "new syntax highlighting for 
gedit" on my opensuse12.1 system the file is located at 
/usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/povray.lang I tried kate for 
a bit and didn't like it (now using gedit) but there's also a post in 
same news group for that editor and I have that file located at 
/usr/share/kde4/apps/katepart/syntax/povray.xml
