Hi,

I've a problem with konqueror, the app does not automatically use Google Earth 
when I click on a link that refers to a kmz file.  The details of my problem:

Let's start what is working:
- if a file on disk is a .kmz file konqueror opens the file with Google Earth.  
(this is e.g. a kmz file that was downloaded from the internet and stored in 
/tmp)
- If I right click on a link on a webpage refering to a .kmz file, the context 
menu contains a reference to Google Earth.  When using that reference GE opens 
the link.

What's not working:
- Clicking on a link refering to a kmz file.  E.g. on this page:
http://www.kmzlinks.com/?offset=1&group=  Click
Now konqueror offers me: 'save as', 'open with' and cancel.  Or when I right 
click on the link, the context menu offers me to open the link with e.g. kate, 
kwrite, OO.org writer, and other editors, but no GE :(

Why is that?

I've *kmz files associated with Google Earth....
For example in $HOME/.local/share/mime/application/vnd.google-earth.kmz.xml

.kde4/share> cat ./mimelnk/application/vnd.google-earth.kmz.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
# Installed by xdg-mime from googleearth-mimetypes.xml
Type=MimeType
MimeType=application/vnd.google-earth.kmz
Icon=application-vnd.google-earth.kmz
Comment=Keyhole Markup Language archive
Patterns=*.kmz;

In /usr/share/applications/ there is ./googleearth.desktop

The last files that are kmz related I know are located in:
/usr/share/mime # find | grep google
./packages/googleearth-mimetypes.xml
./application/vnd.google-earth.kmz.xml
./application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml.xml

Shouldn't this be sufficient for konqueror to open kmz files automatically?  
At firefox offers to open the links with GE, konqueror should be able to do 
that too, isn't it???
