Description Ondřej Kozák 2007-05-23 10:07:04 UTC

Version:           Kmail 1.9.7 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

When I click on any URL web link at any of my mails it wont open, usage of procesor jumps on 100% and in process table are many (between 7 to 10) kfmclients processes. I Use as my preffered web browser konqueror so i dont know if its bug of konqeror or kmail. I use kde 3.5.7, Kmail 1.9.7 and konqeror 3.5.7. OpenSuSE102.
Thank you for your time

If there are, at no time, any KMail processes the process tree, then this is not a KMail bug as Konqueror fails to start KMail.

Starting KMail by other means works, right?

I am sorry its  maybe misunderstanding. Sorry for my english.

This problem showes up when i wanna from Kmail start Konqeror through click on 
URL in mail body.

So I Usually start KMail at begin of KDE session. I run it all time i use 
computer iconified on task bar. Everything is normaly run but when i wanna 
open some URL link atached in email body the konqeror wont start. It starts 
multiple processes named kfmclient (about 10) and system slowes down. 
I have to KILL this processes to maintain normal function of system but it is 
difficult because when i KILL one of them it will starts again immediately. 
So i have tu KILL their father process - kdeinit and restart KDE session.
When I copy that URL through clipboard (ctrl+c - ctrl+v) to running konqeror 
it works normaly. So its not problem of that link (that bug will show up with 
any of my emails). 

I hope its is now more understandable.

Sorry I have solved my problem. It was caused by my bad configuration of 
preffered web browser at KDE control center.

Again sorry for bother you.
OK
