Version:            (using KDE 4.2.85)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

kfmclient used to not block the current process when being called, now it does.

$ kfmclient openURL http://google.com
kfmclient(4213) ClientApp::doIt: Creating ClientApp
kfmclient(4213) ClientApp::createNewWindow: Using external browser "!firefox"
^C

This does not happen, when chosing "in an application based on the contents of the URL" (Konqueror in my case):
$ kfmclient openURL http://google.com
kfmclient(4650) ClientApp::doIt: Creating ClientApp
Launched ok, pid = 4654


This causes problems with libs/programs like Apport (see https://launchpad.net/bugs/337382) and Python's webbrowser lib:
>>> import webbrowser
>>> webbrowser.open("http://www.google.com/")
^CTraceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/webbrowser.py", line 61, in open
    if browser.open(url, new, autoraise):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/webbrowser.py", line 365, in open
    p.wait()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 1123, in wait
    pid, sts = os.waitpid(self.pid, 0)
KeyboardInterrupt


I've thought at first that only the behavior has been changed, but it clearly looks like a bug now.
