SUMMARY
Open links from PyCharm causes error dialog:
"Unable to create io-slave. Can not create socket for launching io-slave for protocol 'http'."

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install PyCharm Community with snap.
2. Install django.
3. Create a test app or use existing one to startup the test web-server `python manage.py runserver`
4. Click the link produced by `runserver` command.


OBSERVED RESULT
New dialog appears:
"Unable to create io-slave. Can not create socket for launching io-slave for protocol 'http'."

EXPECTED RESULT
A browser should be opened with a login form into django admin web-interface.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This problem could be solved by specifying default browser in Default applications. However, it's not clear to a user. I've spent a couple of hours to fix this. Would be nice to rid a user from this manipulations.

IINM, most distros set a default browser in their kde installations by default; how could KDE set a default browser? that depends on what web browsers are installed by default in a distro which is something KDE doesn't control.
