Let me make sure I understand: With iceweasel on a different desktop,
kmail still finds it and opens links in it (when a link is clicked in
kmail)?
That's not what I'm looking for, but could be an alternate workaround.
But, the other problem would be that since I keep konqueror open on
several of my desktops, it would probably be unpredictable where (on
which instance of konqueror) any particular link opened up. So
probably not all that desirable after all.
I'm still wondering what happened to the old behavior--did KDE 3.4.2
have some capability that no longer exists in 3.5.10/3.5.9, or did
Mandriva (2006) have some secret sauce that nobody else knew about?
