Public bug reported:

Affects: amarok (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
On a standard Ubuntu Dapper (I doubt this affects KUbuntu) installation.
I installed Amarok. Went to the "About amaroK' menu item in the "Help"
menu. There is a link there to amarok.kde.org.

Clicking this link does not bring up firefox pointing at the expected
website. Instead, I see a rather cryptic error come up:

Could not launch the brower:
Could not find service 'kfmclient'.

I suspect that something has not been started/installed here. And I fear
it could affect other KDE applications running in Ubuntu, not just
amaroK. I have a feeling that amaroK/kdeinit is looking for Konqueror,
or a URL handler or something, but cannot find it (pure guesswork here,
I'm no coder).

Installed amaroK version is: 2:1.3.8-0ubuntu7 (according to Synaptic).

If any more info is needed, please ask.
