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 privileges and it is system-level rather than user-level. Perhaps someone from the Kubuntu Team can provide some insight on this issue. On the other hand, perhaps we need a "update-alternatives" tool that works on the user-level also. -- Thunderbird uses konqueror as web browser https://launchpad.net/bugs/52670 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
