As I'm sure you remember, we had a whole thread about this sort of thing a while back: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/kde/2012-March/011284.html Since I finally got it to work I didn't worry any more about it, but my impression at the time was that this was due to a kludge somewhere in the default protocol-handling setup, and that it was going to be fixed. Looks like that hasn't happened yet. poc _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
