First of all, thanks for stepping up and getting the discussion going again.
One thing that strikes me as wrong though, considering the comments on the Firefox list, is that this is phrased as KDE Integration.
Using the KDE file dialog would be KDE specific integration, using the user configured default application for a certain task is not.
That would be Free Software Desktop integration, i.e. folling the mime-apps- spec: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/mime-apps-spec/ I don't know enough to know the correct semantics.
I do know:
(1) 'this' has been talked about for a very long time, admittedly in 'drips and drabs', as a KDE + Firefox issue. Specifically getting Firefox to use Dolphin.
(2) The Opensuse 'patches' have been specifically for use in KDE, and have been called in packaging 'mozilla-kde4-integration' and 'kmozillahelper'
Sure, but time has moved on and default application handling is now covered by a cross-desktop specification. This is no longer about having KDE Workspace specific code, framing it as such hides the actual scope.
