SUMMARY
When I click on a magnet link, I get the usual dialogue box in Ktorrent with
the link showing and then click on 'OK', after that, nothing happens.
I expect Ktorrent to show me another window with a list of the contents of the
torrent. It does not.
I have tried using different browsers, Firefox & Chrome and I get the same
result - Ktorrent doesn't handle the magnet link properly. I have even tried it
on different computers running the same desktop and version of Ktorrent, I get
the same result.

1. After opening Ktorrent & a browser, open a torrent sharing site (I used TPB)
2. Left click on a magnet link
3. Ktorrent opens the first part, which is the magnet link, click on 'OK'
