[Bug 52670] Re: Thunderbird uses konqueror as web browser

[manu]

Actually, there are only two solutions:

1) Either the default browser of thunderbird points to the default set
by kcontrol.

2) Either kcontrol should update x-www-browser.

However, as far as I know, option (1) is not portable across different
desktop environments, while option (2) requires root privileges and it
is system-level rather than user-level.

Perhaps someone from the Kubuntu Team can provide some insight on this
issue.

On the other hand, perhaps we need a "update-alternatives" tool that
works on the user-level also.
