You have to install UFRaw standalone rawfile converter and register it to crw  
mimetype (konqi->RMB on crw-file->properties->edit icon). That way ufraw is 
started when you click on crw thumbnail in album view.
If possible, I strongly recommend to use latest ufraw-0.6-CVS which is based 
on dcraw 7.70 and supports bilinear filtering and AH-demosaicing filter. AHD 
leeds to so much better raw converting that this is a must have for all 
non-SIGMA DSLR users. Bilinear filtering is suggested for converting 
high-ISO-shots to minimize noise.
