Version: 1.9.10 (using KDE 3.5.10) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Hmm this is a bug on bug reporting. I tried to report another bug in kmail using its own bug reporting feature. I use kmail version 1.9.10 under Ubuntu Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-23-generic, Compiler Target : i486-linux-gnu. Mine is an old laptop with Pentium 3 processor and 196MB RAM. I clicked Help > Report bug. In the pop up window i clicked Launch Bug Report Wizard. The details above are from with window. A smaller window opened with an error message "Could not launch browser Could not find service kfmclient". My default browser is firefox. I expected it to collect all information required and open the browser to report a bug.
BTW i do not use KDE desktop. Kmail is installed as an extra package in my Ubuntu GNOME system as I prefer kmail to evolution.
This kfmclient is already fixed in kde 4.2.0 by dfaure: I just committed code to invokeBrowser (r896218) that implements the following logic: // This method should launch a webbrowser, preferrably without doing a mimetype // check first, like KRun (i.e. kde-open) would do. // In a KDE session, call kfmclient (which honours BrowserApplication) if present, // otherwise xdg-open, otherwise kde-open (which does a mimetype check first though). // Outside KDE, call xdg-open if present, otherwise fallback to the above logic. This fixes the "kfmclient not installed" problem as well as the "kde apps always launch konqueror even in gnome" problem.
