This is not acceptable, because I am not using KDE.  By default, running
a command should be silent unless there is an error.  Installing okular
or konqueror for testing purposes and then invoking it accidentally
through mime-support should not result in text overwriting my mutt
session.  Maybe KDE needs to ship a configuration file that disables
output to the terminal by default, I don't know, but the status quo is
problematic.  Regardless, my patch fixes the issue.  If you prefer a
different approach, please submit a patch to that effect.
