Yes, if we always set x-scheme-handler/http, then ktoolinvocation_x11.cpp can read that instead of BrowserApplication. But that's basically compatibility the other way around (KDE apps reading the scheme-handler setting set by other environments), so that's for a separate patch (this one is about KDE workspace setting scheme-handler for non-KDE apps to see).
