Sorry Nils. Your response is a collection of mix-and-match. And then you 
introduce the slur on Thunderbird :-) .

OK, you mention above that in your case your Firefox shows "the URL with 
spaces instead of the "%20"s in the URL bar."

Why is this so when mine does no such thing?

I note that this discussion is occurring here in kubuntu, which is the 
KDE orientated list. Is it the case, then, that KDE produces different 
results to what occurs in the gnome environment (which is what I use)?

If so, then why should there be such differences?
