Bug#278438: kdelibs-bin: 'Launch in terminal' option not having any effect

[Adrian Irving-Beer <wisq-deb@wisq.net>]

Package: kdelibs-bin
Version: 4:3.3.0-2
Severity: normal

Creating a file association and selecting 'launch in terminal' seems to
have no effect; it neglects to launch any terminal and tries to run the
application directly.

As an example, I associated text/sgml with a test script that writes
pstree output to disk ('test-konqueror-bug').  I click on an SGML link:

Args:  /ext1-1/vartmp/kdecache-wisq/krun/12806.0.test.sgml
Tree output:

I've tried this with both konsole (installed) and urxvt (via kcontrol
preferences), and neither makes any attempt to use a terminal.
