When entering a uri into krunner such as smb://something or ftp://something or desktop:/  , konqueror loads instead of dolphin. This is the wrong behavior. But, entering http://something loads the default web browser, not necessarily konqueror, and this is the right behavior for http.

Inside of the location runner, KToolInvocation::invokeBrowser is called for unknown and network uris. invokeBrowser in turn runs startServiceByDesktopName("kfmclient", url,....), which calls kfmclient. Running kfmclient openURL causes the same problem. Calling kfmclient exec produces the correct behavior.

Either the error is in how startServiceByDesktopName calls kfmclient, how kfmclient handles uris, how a component kfmclient depends on operates, or krunner calling invokeBrowser (ie instead of KRun). Or it is neither of these and my analysis is incorrect.

In any case, typing ftp://something into krunner should open dolphin, not konqueror.
