You have reinstalled kde2.1 on a clean install of 7.2? OK, try this:
Delete your .kderc, do an rm -rf on your $HOME/.kde directory, and then
delete everything in your $HOME/tmp AND as root delete everything in the
system /tmp directory.
Reboot (actually rebooting may be overkill but be radical). Login. At this
point you get the default kde session. Open kcontrol. It SHOULD be working
now. Go to the file associations menu. Go to html under text. Add
konqueror (when you select the add button, just type in "konqueror", do not
go down the list and select Konqueror Web Browser). Now select it in the
window and move it above Quanta. Select the Embedding tab at the top. On
this page the window will have "KHTML" in it. Select "Add" and then go down
the list you get and find "Konqueror". Select it. Move it above KHTML. Hit
"Apply".
Now your html links should work. This worked for me. Now links in kmail
actually open up in konqueror as they should and Quanta doesn't open up in
its stead.
