Version: 2.0 (using KDE 3.1.9) Compiler: gcc version 3.2 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.19-4GB Suddenly my autostart webpages were opened in quanta (failed btw) I have found out that this is because I had this file more ~/.kde/share/applnk/Development/quanta.desktop [Desktop Entry] Categories=Qt;KDE;Development Comment=Web Development Environment DocPath=quanta/index.html Encoding=UTF-8 Exec=quanta Icon=quanta MimeType=text/html;Application [";Application" was added - why?] Name=Quanta Plus ServiceTypes= [this line is added - why?] Type=Application It says nothing about InitialPreference but I guess that since it is local it is preferred over the global konqueror... To test this you have to remove all other local config files like ~/.local/share/applications/kde/kfmclient_html.desktop In some way I think that the design with local .desktop copies is wrong... Example: Selecting the offending Quanta and moving it down will create a local copy of kfmclient_html.desktop - why? It was Quanta that I modified... I would prefere a simple remapping/reordering file (config file for kcmfiletypes, one per mime type?) that more closely matched the actual changes.
Further testing revealed: If I add a InitialPreference of 8 to the global quanta.desktop (or to my local, but global is preferred) then the problem goes away. So, this is really a quanta problem, but all applications should update to have a InitialPreference field.

No (InitialPreference defaults to 1 when not specified). Waldo: thanks for the fix.
