Bug Description
Kubuntu Feisty;
Qt: 3.3.7
KDE: 3.5.6
kfmclient: 2.0
I have set my default app for web browsing to kfmclient from Mozilla FF.
When I tried to open *.desktop link to a random web address inside of Konqueror, the application could not open it but started a vicious circle -- The kdeinit parent process began launching one kfmclient instance after another and the small Konqueror icon by my cursor suddenly started dribbling very fast.
I closed the kdeinit parent in Ksysguard to stop the problem and launched kdeinit again, but when I try to open a .desktop link by left click, middle click or by dragging it to an empty space in tabbar, the situation repeats.
To post a comment you must log in.
I can easily recreate the problem by opening Kopete, logging into Yahoo Messenger, right-click on a Yahoo Contact and choosing View Yahoo Profile (for the specified contact).
"sudo killall kdeinit && kdeinit" will usually restore peace and harmony to the world.
Kubuntu Fiesty, fresh install with standard updates
KDE: 3.5.6
Firefox 2.0.0.4
