Traditionally, this behavior is controlled by a config file in /etc.
Unfortunately, modern FLOSS (Gnome/KDE/...) doesn't make it easy to
find whatever you need to fix it (locate, mlocate, slocate, what's
installed today?!?). Sometimes it's a config file, sometimes you have
to fiddle with gconf (or whatever), KDE (dunno, sorry)?!?
I recommend avoiding apps like that (incl. Gnome/KDE/...), but that
rule only seems to work for me.
