Yes, I already tried that, and rekonq is the default browser for all
~html files, except for the krunner web shortcuts and bookmarks.

By default KDE comes with the html mime-type bound to konqueror in first
place. I changed the 'application/xhtml+xml' to use rekonq, but it seems is
not enough for shortcuts and bookmarks.
