oh, not to flood - two more things:
i know you were already told that you can change the default in
nautilus, but are you sure you were trying in nautilus, not in
beagle-search? that option should definitely be there
in nautilus, have you tried right clicking the folder (or one like it)
going to properties, selecting the open with tab and using the "add"
button to add konqueror and clicking its radial button to select it as
the default? should work.
and, a bash script would probably be sufficient for your hack. or at
least system() in perl. using backticks will capture the output into
ram, which sucks. although this isn't a problem if your konqueror
immediately forks, like nautilus or something.
good luck!
