I posted a message several days ago asking for advice on how to set up
bookmarks so that a file opened from the bookmark toolbar opens in the
appropriate application rather than in an embedded viewer:
> I have a bookmark whose value is file:/home/jeffbarish/name.ksp. When I

I wanted to add that the problem I observe happens with other file types --
kwd (kword) and txt (kwrite) -- not just ksp (kspread). It's hard to
believe that Konqueror is hard-wired to open files in an embedded viewer
considering that almost nothing appears to be hard-wired. Furthermore, I'm
pretty sure that it didn't used to work this way.
