First of all: sorry for top-posting this. I receive a daily digest, so I
can not directly answer to a single mail, so my answer will be out of the
original thread. Can anybody tell me how to do this?

I did exactly this. So now konqueror remembers that I want to open it with
an 'other' program, and every time I click on such files, it pops up the
'Open with' dialog, where I need to type in the path of the executable.
Annoying.
I still don't understand, why files accessed through webdavs:/ have these
problems, other files do not! If I mount this server directory by wdfs as
a local directory, then everything works nice, clicking on the file is
correctly handled by the application/vnd.hp-hpgl association, and the
program is started.
