[Bug 52670] Re: Kubuntu setting default components don't affect gnome/gtk apps

[Amy Brodzik]

I have a workaround to make Thunderbird and Firefox use KDE's settings.

First, create a script called /usr/local/bin/kfmclientexec that contains these two lines only:
#!/bin/sh
kfmclient exec "$*"

Save and make it executable (+x).

Next, in Firefox, go to about:config and create or edit a string value
called "network.protocol-handler.app.mailto" and set it to
"/usr/local/bin/kfmclientexec". This should make Firefox use the e-mail
client you configured in KDE.

In Thunderbird, go to the about:config screen (Edit --> Preferences,
Advanced, General, Config Editor) and create or set two string values
called "network.protocol-handler.app.http" and "network.protocol-
handler.app.https" to "/usr/bin/kfmclientexec"

This should work with the default settings in both programs. I hope this
works, at least until things get sorted out better. :) It works for me,
at least.
