--- Comment #1 from TraceyC <kdedev at tlcnet.info> ---
I am unable to replicate that error on git-master. Double clicking a .gz file
in Dolphin opens the file in Ark, the default compressed file application. This
is likely a misconfiguration of your system.

There are a couple of things you can check.
- Make sure Ark or another application is installed to be able to open .gz,
.zip and other compressed files. 
- Try opening Ark / your compressed file app and open the file from there
- Go into Dolphin Settings - Context Menu - is "'Compress' service menu"
checked?
