           Summary: No way for desktop shortcuts like icons to open a
                    certain URL in konqueror
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: krienke at uni-koblenz.de


Version:           4.1.2 (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Its KDE 4.1.2 time but even a alpha release should offer a simple thing like
adding shortcuts to the desktop. Well kde4.1.2 does not offer a simple way to
do this.

Just try and drag in a konqueror window a URL (the icon left from the url) to
the desktop. Then double klick the icon. As everybody would expect this should
open the default browser with the URL dragged before but instead you only are
beeing asked which application you want to use for opening this item. If you
select konqueror it opens with a /var/tmp/kdecache URL which is complete
nonesense.  In KDE this worked as expected.

Another example is that there seems to be no way to create other shortcuts on
the desktop eg. to open a non KDE app with parameters. If there is such a way
it has been hidden successfully from me.

KDE4 in contrast to KDE 3 has lost lot of its intuitivity by the lack of such
simple things.
