konqueror problem

Greetings list; iceweasel seems to have gone to the dogs with all the libssl updates as they try to sort the latest exploit. So I am driven to konqueror, which usually works, but when clicking on a link to follow in kmail, kmail seems to be passing konqueror a link to the display buffer in /var/tmp, as opposed to just passing the text link I clicked on. It does work ok if I slide the mouse highlight the link, switch to the konqueror screen, and middle click paste it into the address bar of konqueror. Am I the only one with this problem? Lisi seems to think so. Also, and it took a while to find this, the TDE default applications menu, and the default applications database konqueror uses, seems to be two separate databases, which was very confusing because I could be looking at konqueror, clicking on a sublink to try and locate a download or docs directory on some external site, and konqueror was passing it to iceweasel! Perhaps this explains why trying to change the "default" application in KDE, and not having it take effect until a root session, editing something in /etc/kde was also done. That was a PITA. Maybe a bug/feature request is in order? Thanks. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
