--- Comment #1 from David Faure <faure kde org>  2010-11-03 22:35:48 ---
Investigated: this is because /usr/share/applications/hildon/browser.desktop
(package tablet-browser-ui) says Exec=/usr/bin/browser without %u, so kioexec
downloads the url.
I changed this to
Exec=/usr/bin/browser --url=%u
and it worked.

This is an upstream maemo bug, but I don't know where to report it. Does anyone
know?

If they need the desktop file for an application launcher as well, then they
need to split this .desktop file in two: the current one without the MimeType
line, and another .desktop file with the mimetypes and with the above Exec
line, and with NoDisplay=true to hide it from the application launcher.

Alternatively, they could fix the "browser" app so that it can take a url on
the command line without --url=, and then a single desktop file would be enough
(since the %u is replaced with nothing when the desktop file is run from an app
launcher).
