[ILUG] KDE file associations, more evil than MS?

[Fergal Daly]

I'm trying to use Mozilla as my default web browser and image viewer for KDE 
rather than Konqueror and Image Viewer. I've gone into the control centre and 
moved Mozilla up to the top of the list of apps for image/gif an text/html.

What happens now is that when I click on a link in KMail, it downloads the 
page to a temporary file and opens that up in Mozilla, which is crap 
basically. How can I get it to pass the URL to Mozilla?

The other problem is that it doesn't open a new window, it just overwrites 
one of the current ones, is there a way of specifying how the external 
program should be invoked ala mailcap or pretty much anything else that 
spawns external apps? When you're adding a new app to the list, all you can 
do is pick the exe.

It seems to me that the KDE folks have done a better job of tying the browser 
to their desktop and apps than MS ever did!
