You're making it sound like I messed it up myself. The point is that my KDE config was just fine until the upgrade from Lucid and replacement of konqueror with rekonq messed it up by putting rekonq in the fourth place of HTML-handling apps even though konqueror was the default prior to the upgrade. So something about the upgrade process was buggy, and hence this bug report.
