[Bug 1080554] [NEW] Please set x-www-browser as the default browser

[Antonis Kanouras]

Public bug reported:

Hello,

As the title says, it would be nice if "x-www-browser" was set as the
default browser in Kubuntu.

After a Kubuntu installation, x-www-browser (provided by the Debian Alternatives system) automatically points to rekonq.
However, if I install Firefox (for example), and set it as the default X browser system-wide, I would expect KDE to use that as the default browser, without having to resort to KDE-specific trickery to set it as default for each user.

Thank you for your time and keep up the great work!
