There is no x-scheme-handler category, and no mailto item/type anywhere according to that tool.

Why would kmail look at Firefox's settings? I don't even use that browser ...

This is all the more saddening given that Opera (12) which is configured to open mailto URIs with "the default application" finds kmail as it should.
