Component chooser kcm

[Jens Reuterberg]

I think its a lot more complex - because in reality what is KDE? If KDE is 
ment to be a set of applications which also have a desktop available then the 
applications should be able to set preferred browser or if nothing else pick 
up what browser is preferred by the desktop (unless stated elsewhere by a 
desktop with the possibility to pick per-app preferences)

If we are a desktop which also provides a large set of applications then we 
can safely assume that this is entirely up to the desktop in question.

We could argue that its not our fault that other DE's are so hopelessly 
outdated but that wouldn't gain us anything. 

Is there something that stops us from letting Konsole check what the preferred 
browser is in whatever DE is available? Or is it that they simply don't tell 
what that is?
