Bug#693459: dolphin: Dolphin executes executable files instead of using the registered application



Package: dolphin
Version: 4:4.4.5-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

When clicking an executable (chmod +x) file in Dolphin, it runs it instead of using the associated program.
This might be the desired behaviour in some cases, and might not be in others: a preferences option should be
provided to configure this behaviour.

Some links of complaints about this:
* forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=52818
* http://askubuntu.com/questions/179155/how-to-force-dolphin-to-not-execute-executable-files

Konqueror doesn't behave like this, actually opening the file with the registered application. It's good to
have it as a workaround, but with this issue fixed I and others could use Dolphin exclusively.
