Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: debianutils
sensible-browser specifically checks for gnome, and tries to use gnome-
www-browser; it has no checks for KDE (or XFCE or LDXE or anything
else), so under KDE, it falls to x-www-browser.
x-www-browser has 3 options on my system: konqueror (the default),
firefox, and firefox-3.0 (which should be the same as firefox, n'est-ce-
pas?).
So -- I had the fun of figuring out why a slightly-less-than-mainstream
application (Freemind) insisted on opening HTML files and links in
Konqueror, although I set Firefox as my preferred browser in the KDE
settings.
I suppose this can be solved by adding kde-open -- or some other, KDE-
prefrences-aware script -- as an alternative x-www-browser; but since
gnome-www-browser is invoked directly from sensible-browser, I suspect
there is a reason to prefer doing it this way for KDE too.
