Ah, that part isn't fixed.

My fix with "disabling external browsers" is about http(s).
For other things like man and info, the logic is really "this KRun is being 
called from an application which can display HTML itself, don't launch another 
process for that". We could add yet another setter, but it's getting ugly, 
especially for a deprecated class.

I'm thinking more and more that we need to copy KRun and KParts::BrowserRun 
into konqueror, merging it all into KonqRun. Not just because of this issue of 
course, but because KRun is deprecated (in favour of OpenUrlJob) for most use 
cases, while the konqueror use case is different (opening things in-process 
rather than launching an external application, in many cases).

What do you think?
