Without knowing the intricacies, surely this should be quite easy to
fix? Gnome-based apps such as Thunderbird use /etc/alternatives/x-www-
browser. So when the default browser is changed, can it not change the
default there as well?
This is one of the major gripes new Kubuntu users have :)

Actually, there is a big problem there. The debian alternatives-system
cannot handle per-user configuration.

What I think of the correct solution:
The debian-alternatives system is better than the KDE one, but there shouldn´t
exist 2 systems.
So:
1. Thunderbird should use the browser set by the alternatives system
2. Threre should be a littel GUI to set options for that system
3. The KDE settings to se
I was merely enumerating possible solutions to the problem. Sorry to
disappoint you. Also, unfortunately I have not seen any spec about this
for Feisty. I guess we are all too busy...

Sorry, there is another solution:
3) Thunderbird offers a list of known browsers.

Actually, there are only two solutions:
1) Either the default browser of thunderbird points to the default set
by kcontrol.
2) Either kcontrol should update x-www-browser.
However, as far as I know, option (1) is not portable across different
desktop environments, while option (2) requires root

click on it where it says affects and you will see drop down box and
just set it to unconfirmed/confirmed. If you want to make it a gui app
or suggest it to be implenmented please open a different bug for that.

This is really nice, but (k)ubuntu should be a distribution which is usable
without cryptic commands, so I suggest to integrate this with the environment.
There should be a configuration GUI for that and in kubuntu KDE should be set
to use the symlink created by "alternatives" by default, so that

You can reassign bugs to the correct place.
If i remember correctly, this is a setting in thunderbird's users.js -
so not a kubuntu metapackage bug.
This is similar to the bug that occurs with getting thunderbird to open
with firefox 1.5, at least with the mozilla binaries.
** Changed in: kubunt
Why do you reject this?
Where should thunderbird know what´s the default web browser? I think this is
really different on kubuntu and ubuntu!
