[Bug 52670] Re: Kubuntu setting default components don't affect gnome/gtk apps

[Nick Coghlan]

>From an end-user POV, this definitely lands in the bug category (it just
bit me today when I finally migrated my main email & RSS PC over to Edgy
from XP - blog links in Thunderbird's RSS reader insisted on opening in
Konqueror instead of in Firefox, even though I had already changed my
browser preference. This bug report was the first hit on a Google search
for 'thunderbird konqueror').

I like Yuriy's solution: point x-www-browser at 'kfmclient openURL
<url>' as part of the default Kubuntu install. That should get the
normal situation ('I don't care if it's a GTK or Qt app, I just want it
to do what I want') right, and power users that want to use both Gnome &
KDE and have them behave differently are still free to go in and change
it.
