It's worth noting that libtaskmanager supports a magic preferred:// URL scheme 
to allow distros to make default Task Manager launchers that start e.g. the 
preferred file manager or web browser. If I implement this for Kicker I will 
likely reimplement the same approach there, because Kicker cleanly uses 
KConfigXT <default> for defaults, and while KConfigXT supports embedded C++ 
snippets for computed default values, those aren't possible in the runtime-only 
KConfigXT implementation in Plasma.
