The trouble is that users expect that when they change their default web
browser that the HTML file types will go with it.  To a large extent it makes
sense.  HTML files are typically viewed with a web browser even if the HTML
file doesn't come from the web (eg the file is from local storage).

This technically isn't a Kopete bug but a usability bug in KDE's System
Settings dialogs.

I propose that System Settings/Default Applications/Web Browser should ask the
user if it should change a few file associations too.  Alternatively, it could
suggest to the user that he or she may want to review settings in System
Settings/File Associations.
