Why in stock Ubuntu and not Kubuntu, I think is because the offending
code is inside functions that are named as though only KDE is supposed
to use them. For example, the default browser break is inside a function
named `check_browser_kde()`. There might be some logic to determine that
your stock Ubuntu, even if it is currently running a KDE session,
supports testing via the gnome code paths: i.e. via
`check_browser_gnome()`

With regards to bash specifics inside a project declaring /bin/sh as the
interpreter I would guess it is a bug that has crept through without
being caught. The upstream project likely wants to remain portable and
not rely on BASH so they probably should drop the BASH-isms.
