Replacing the KDE file browser

[Mike Reinehr]

Joel,

I'm hardly an expert on Debian, as I've been using it for less than a year, 
but I think the answer to your question is "yes".

I believe the answer is on at least two levels. On the lowest level, check out 
the directory '/etc/alternatives'. On my system there is an entry for 
'www-browser' which points to lynx. This directory is a place for selecting 
which, of several alternative programs, you wish to use for a particular 
application. I'm not sure exactly where it is, but there is Debian 
documentation explaining the how's & why's of this system.

Next, I believe you would have to edit the file associations for your desktop 
of choice. In my case, using KDE, the associations for '*.html' files are 
Konqueror, Quanta, Lynx & Firefox. Swapping Firefox for Konqueror, in the 
first place, should do the trick.

Beyond that, there may also be some necessary changes in the KDE Control 
Center, but I'm not sure of that.
