So? Do we split the quarter? ;)

Seems that most kde users will be accustomed to links coming up in kfm. It
might be confusing if it did otherwise in all cases. And netscape really
is something of a pig in terms of resources. Not knowing exactly what you
have in mind, I would suggest just bringing up netscape for cases where it
is especially appropriate. Unless the functionality already exists, and we
just don't know about it, URL kdelnk's that support some sort of default
application field might be a cool wish list request for the KDE people.
