Update: in the light of Rex's comments on Ktorrent, I decided to see what happens if I just remove it, and lo, everything now works, both xdg-open and clicking from Chrome. So the ultimate culprit does seem to have been interference from Ktorrent. Here's hoping the new version fixes this, but I can live without it for now. Thanks to all (but I still think the correct solution was way too hard to discover, even without the bug). poc _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
