I think this needs some xdg tweaking, using xdg-mime. I don't know the type of URL for man:, else could have posted the command. The solution may be to find out the mime type of man pages, then create a .desktop file to handle it and use xdg-settings to set it up. I am thinking along the lines of: [Desktop Entry] # ... Exec=/usr/bin/konqueror %U MimeType=text/man_page_thing;text/bz2; or similar. However, the problem is that man pages are not a distinct mime type, but compressed text files. So this may cause konqueror to become the default application for opening all such mime types - which will be a pain. Not sure if a default application can be defined on a path basis, whereby only text files in e.g. /usr/share/man/man1/* would be opened with Konqueror. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Open mime/applications/whatever submenu (called 'Dateizuordnungen' in German). application-xtroff-man and application-xtroff-man-compressed should be the things you have to set. Click on 'embedded' and choose KManPart And that it is always shown in the embedded part. We are talking about KDE here - not gnome. It should not be necessary to fiddle with desktop files. -- #163933
