Konqueror is the default browser. I have another user set up on this
machine, and man:/ works fine there. What I find really confusing is
that settings:/ opens in konqueror and man:/ tries to open in firefox.
It's not that big a deal; I can always open konqueror and do the man:/
thing there. It just bugs me not knowing what went wrong.
