Yes it does, thanks.  The problem then is that I do not have set the
BROWSER env variable, because I choose the browser according to
particular browsing needs;  i.e. mostly Opera, sometimes FF, sometimes
Konqueror, rarely Mozilla, Links.


$ BROWSER=konqueror googleearth


Yes this works nicely, I may just add it to my Fluxbox menu command.


You may also edit the googleearth script and add BROWSER=whatever at the top


Hmm, this does not seem to work at all:
===
$ googleearth
/usr/bin/googleearth: line 10: =/usr/kde/3.5/bin/konqueror: No such
file or directory
===
I've tried all sorts of nomenclature (placing the path in  , etc.)
but it won't work.  It just launches Firefox.  Although I've set the
mailto: path in FF config to kmail, FF does not seem to respond to the
'attachto=' that googleearth passes on to it.  As a result a new
message is opened but no attachment is created.

Any idea what the syntax should look like for the googleearth script
to acknowledge the BROWSER env variable?

Konqueror will use kmail by default. 

$ BROWSER=konqueror googleearth

You may also edit the googleearth script and add BROWSER=whatever at the top 
or you may put it into your global environment like this:

# echo BROWSER=whatever  /etc/env.d/90browser  env-update  \
source /etc/profile
