Public bug reported: Upon clicking a url in a email message the url is not opened. Instead several kfmclient processes are spawned and the bouncy cursor bounces to much for it's own good. The url never opens, it tries to open the url in Konqueror, there is no problem once the default browser has been set to Firefox.
The issue occurs with all links in email messages and can only be stopped by killing the kfmclient processes. The issue has started to occur since a upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy, the Gutsy install was a clean one. I've pasted the ps ax output below: 8898 ?
