Konqueror unable to open .desktop web links

Bug Description

Kubuntu Feisty;
Qt: 3.3.7
KDE: 3.5.6
kfmclient: 2.0

I have set my default app for web browsing to kfmclient from Mozilla FF.
When I tried to open *.desktop link to a random web address inside of Konqueror, the application could not open it but started a vicious circle -- The kdeinit parent process began launching one kfmclient instance after another and the small Konqueror icon by my cursor suddenly started dribbling very fast.
I closed the kdeinit parent in Ksysguard to stop the problem and launched kdeinit again, but when I try to open a .desktop link by left click, middle click or by dragging it to an empty space in tabbar, the situation repeats.

I can easily recreate the problem by opening Kopete, logging into Yahoo Messenger, right-click on a Yahoo Contact and choosing View Yahoo Profile (for the specified contact).

"sudo killall kdeinit && kdeinit" will usually restore peace and harmony to the world.

Kubuntu Fiesty, fresh install with standard updates
KDE: 3.5.6
Firefox 2.0.0.4

I'm not sure what other information would be helpful. If there is anything I can do to help troubleshoot/resolve the problem or if there is anymore information that you need then please let me know.

I can`t confirm it on an up-to-date gutsy gibbon with KDE 3.5.8. Please tell us if the problem is still there for you!

I need to test it on 3.5.8 but I know the problem existed on 3.5.6.

I'm setting this bug report to fix released because I can`t confirm it in gutsy gibbon or hardy herong and it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments.

Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks again!
