           Summary: Setting a default browser makes KDE open certain files
                    with it
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: nitanovidiu at gmail.com


Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

It seems that setting a web browser in System Settings - Default Applications -
Web browser makes KDE to open XML-based files in browser, even if there's
another application associated with that file type. Dolphin, kde-open or
xdg-open are affected by this bug. Surprising Konqueror isn't affected by this
issue.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open System Settings, go to Default Applications -> Web browser, check "in
the following browser:" radio button and fill the entry with a browser name.
2. Try to open with Dolphin a XML-based file (I tried with a .cbp CodeBlocks
project). The web browser will be launched and will probably offer you to
"download" that file. The same thing is happening if you run kde-open
/path/to/file or xdg-open /path/to/file.

Actual Results:  
The file is opened in webbrowser

Expected Results:  
The file should be opened with the application defined in File Associations.
