[Bug 74283] Re: Component chooser doesn't appear in kcontrol, and doesn't work when run manually

[markusl]

Thanks, Andreas.  System settings wasn't installed on this machine -- I
hadn't heard of it until now.  (I originally installed KDE on top of
Ubuntu, rather than directly by installing Kubuntu.  Presumably, had I
installed Kubuntu, System Settings would have been installed
automatically.)  That meant I had no way of specifying a default Web
browser for KDE.

Because it's possible for an Ubuntu machine to have KDE installed
without System Settings, KControl's component chooser should arguably be
reinstated.  Alternatively, perhaps the 'kde' package should be made to
depend on 'kde-systemsettings' and any other Kubuntu extensions.

For the benefit of anyone arriving here via a search engine and wanting
to change the default Web browser in KDE, 'sudo apt-get install kde-
systemsettings' will install System Settings.  Once that's done,
Andreas's solution (above) is exactly right.
