Should this > %U not be default? No, because not all programs can handle URLs on the command line, even if all KDE and GTK applications (I believe) support it natively. I suppose there could also be cases where it's not desirable for the program (or its linked library) to interact with the server. > I can post a bugreport on that I guess.. The information is there; it's in the Whats This popup for the text box that holds the command (click on the question mark in the title bar and then on the text box). Perhaps it needs to be more prominent than that. The information is quite long, however, so just throwing it all in as labels wouldn't be elegant.
