[Bug 103745] Konqueror unable to open .desktop web links

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Kubuntu Feisty;
Qt: 3.3.7
KDE: 3.5.6
kfmclient: 2.0

I have set my default app for web browsing to kfmclient from Mozilla FF.
When I tried to open *.desktop link to a random web address inside of Konqueror, the application could not open it but started a vicious circle -- The kdeinit parent process began launching one kfmclient instance after another and the small Konqueror icon by my cursor suddenly started dribbling very fast.
I closed the kdeinit parent in Ksysguard to stop the problem and launched kdeinit again, but when I try to open a .desktop link by left click, middle click or by dragging it to an empty space in tabbar, the situation repeats.

** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
