[rekonq] Opening external links

[Andrea Diamantini]

Matgic78 is proposing a merge request about Pano's idea of opening external 
URLs on new windows just if there is no one in the same desktop.

That's how pano explained it:

> When clicking on a link in an external app (e.g. KMail) this link will be 
> opened in a new rekonq window, even though there is already a rekonq 
> instance on the same desktop running. Imho it should open that link in a 
> new tab, and create a new rekonq window, only if there is no rekonq 
> instance running on the same desktop.

and this is matgic78's use case:

> (example) I'm doing a school work and I'm very tired of it. I want to do a 
> break. I change of desktop and of linked-to-desktop plasma activity, where
> there is a rss plasmoid for planetKDE. I click on the links to the articles
> that interest me. Where should it open ? 
> In the other desktop; with my 10 tabs about the subject YYY ?


so we have these options:

1) (actual): open external URLs in new tabs or in new windows (chosen via user 
settings)
2) (pano + matgic78): open external URLs in new window if there is no one 
opened on the same desktop.
3) (remix): provide options to choose one from 2 or 3 of these.

I really cannot decide about. Hints?
