            Bug ID: 300341
          Severity: minor
           Version: unspecified
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: Error message or crash when clicking a link and rekonq
                    is not installed
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: ariel at bellino.com.ar
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kde

I removed rekonq and installed firefox. After that, when following a link
within a program (for example one of the present in "Help->about KDE"), I get
the error message "Could not find the program 'rekonq' ". Some software crashes
instead of showing an error, for example the bug reporting tool (ironic :-P).

I fixed it by making a script named rekonq that passes the arguments to
firefox, and putting it in /usr/local/bin, but i think it can be frustrating to
unexperienced users.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Remove rekonq
2. Install another web browser
3. Follow a link within a program, for example the ones present in "help->about
KDE"
Actual Results:  
Depending on the software: crashes, or the message "Could not find the program
'rekonq'" is shown.

Expected Results:  
Opening any of the web browsers installed
