I don't know how to deal with this, but I imagine it has to do with
Mime-Types, before changing to KDE, I used a small program written in
Yabasic to deal with this, I am attaching it, you can find Yabasic in
www.yabasic.de
Yabasic is a Basic interpreter that lets you write scripts with easy and
simple commands (compared to the ugly Perl commands :-)
You will need "xgetfile" which is a utility included with most Linux
distributions.

click on the "K" button and select "KDE Control Center", then
select
[-]Windows
then select
[-]Properties
and pick "Focus follows mouse"

click the "K" button,
move cursor on "Panel"
select "Add Application"
after you add an application, click on its icon with right button and
select "Properties"
select tab "Execute" and you can change its icon and binary there.
