Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.1) Installed from: Compiled From Sources OS: Linux In file associations, I use for application/pdf: Open in external viewer In KDE 3.0, clicking on a link in a webpage that points to a pdf would then correctly launch acrobat reader. In KDE 3.2, clicking on the same link now embeds the pdf in a kghostview part (which is prioritizes there). However, as I explicitly specified "Open in external viewer", I'd expect it to also open in acroread. Interestingly, clicking on a pdf in the file view (icon view, list view whatever) *will* load it in acroread.
KDE 3.5.9 and 4.1 (trunk r802881) respect the file associations settings.
