[Bug 111032]

[Nate-b]

Following supportive comments on the mailing list, I'm preparing a patch
to remove the "in an application based on the contents of the url"
feature, which is confusing, imposes a speed penalty, and apparently
doesn't work for certain URLs. The patch is fairly simple but there's a
conceptual issue: what's a good default setting now?

Right now the default setting is "let KIO figure it out", and presumably
this should move to "default to browser X". But what is Browser X?
Should we really be in the business of picking preference orders for
3rd-party software? What about if 1st-party software is also installed,
like Falkon or Konqueror? Should we leave it up to distros to populate
~/.config/kdeglobals with a sensible default for BrowserApplication[$e]?

Any ideas or guidance would be appreciated.
