Just a few notes. Something definitely has changed. I suspect the
"kio slaves",
but I can't prove which one.
As I pointed out in this bug report
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?
id=443259), I can force khelpcenter to open pieces of a multi-segment
handbook
that were generated by meinproc5.
I now know that part of this problem is caused by a configuration
file somewhere
in my ~/ directory. On my main account ("david"), when I open an html
file in
Konqueror, it gets handed off to Firefox instead. I have created a
second user
account ("davidb"). If I log in as "davidb", I can still open html
files with
Konqueror. And it doesn't invoke Firefox. Not as good as using
khelpcenter,
but good enough for proofreading, etc.
I imagine it might be possible to figure out what the difference is
by comparing
a lot of configuration files. But I'm too lazyto do that right now.
I'm happy
enough being two users. At least it works, after a fashion.
I confirm this. It does not work for myself or my already existing
test user. It DOES work for root, and for a brand new user I just
created. I suspect it might be at least partly due to file
associations, depending on the relative position of Firefox and
Konqueror for .html files, but I also think there may be something more
directly related to kio and/or klauncher.
Can anyone suggest where to start looking for relevant config
differences between users?
