Change the default settings of Kubuntu to improve the first time user experience

[Nowardev-Team]

well the defaults for me are not important anymore cuz i know so well
packages and kubuntu that i did my ppa with my packages and my defaults

said that ....

rekonq is a joke , yesterday for example i tried another time on 13.04 cuz
i had a problem with firefox alpha and tadaaa it did not login in my bank
.... i have tested in other site i use and it's not useable for me or it
doens't work well (with stable firefox worked.)

so for me the best it's leave to user the choice to select it's own
prefered browser at installation point

if i was kubuntu dev i would ask me how many years users has to wait to get
a decent qt browser . and has it a meaning to  deliver something that
doens't work well for BROWSING that is the FIRST activity that a linux user
does ?

btw someone has said , i have agrree , that firefox has not a great
integration with kde , expecially if you have to open deb tar and launch
dolphin ....

i have fixed it using like association kde-open for every mime.

said that :D  i don't care about defaults i use mini.iso then i do this

sudo apt-get install $(echo  $(apt-cache show kubuntu-desktop | awk
'/Depen/ || /Rec/{ gsub(/\,/,"")
;gsub(/Recommends:/,"");gsub(/Depends:/,"");gsub(/dragonplayer/,"vlc
vlc-data  vlc-nox vlc-plugin-fluidsynth vlc-plugin-jack vlc-plugin-notify
vlc-plugin-pulse vlc-plugin-sdl vlc-plugin-svg
vlc-plugin-zvbi");gsub(/rekonq/,"firefox"); print} ' | awk '{ printf "%s",
$0 }') | sort)
