Did you logout/login between the set and the get?

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.
