No Colin, in this case its clicking on a url or attachment in an incoming 
msg in kmail that leads to a .png, and instead of firefox, which has no 
problem with the .png's, several seconds later it opens a wine session 
running wines version of OE.  And I can't seem to find where it gets 
redirected to wine/Outlook Explorer.  Its a PITA that only started a couple 
weeks ago but I've had wine installed for Sketchup for months.

Thanks.
