No worries - noticed I'd made a couple of errors, which I'll correct
below, and when I get some time put information up on the Debian Wiki in
case it's of interest to anyone else. FWIW after 12 years of inactivity
there has been recent murmurs on Mozilla of addressing KDE support (I'd
just prefer porting Firefox/Thunderbird to QT - and flying cars).

Yes.

I'm not sure how you'd do that or whether it's possible
Note - my "method" of removing the dbus service file is a cludge and
probably won't survive upgrades, but it breaks nothing in KDE and is
trivial to maintain.
It 'might' be "better" to put a copy of those services files from
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/ into ~/.dbus-1/services and add some sort of
user over-ride into /etc/dbus-1/system.d - *but* I am just guessing.
I really am, happily, totally clueless when it comes to GNOME (not
opposed to it, just limited in time trying to cover KDE and Fluxbox DE)

The whole system AFAIK - it's very likely possible to apply more
fine-grained control, I just haven't explored it.

CORRECTION
*Should be*
cp /usr/share/applications/defaults.list{,.bak}

CORRECTION
The following will *only* work with KDE3 (not in Wheezy or later) as
kprint doesn't exist in KDE4. (apologies for not having updated my
Iceweasel references to Wheezy, and failing to notice it doesn't have
the intended effect")
*However* if 'may' work with kprint4 which is available in Jessie and
later. kprint4 dependencies it likely won't install in Wheezy, and I
haven't tried to backport it yet.
