But the file has been updated [egreshko@meimei ~]$ cat /home/egreshko/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list [Default Applications] text/html=google-chrome.desktop; x-scheme-handler/http=google-chrome.desktop; x-scheme-handler/https=google-chrome.desktop; x-scheme-handler/mailto=mozilla-thunderbird.desktop [egreshko@meimei ~]$ xdg-email kf5.kio.core: "preferred service for x-scheme-handler/mailto" "kmail2" <**** I don't want this.... -- In reality, some people should stick to running Windows and others should stay away from computers altogether. _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
