Typing, instead of 'display', things like 'background', 'desktop' or 'mouse' opens the corresponding KControl module. Apparently "Open With" and "Alt+F2" check the given command to see if it contains the name of a KControl module, and launches it when found. Being KDE, this should be configurable I guess, but who has an idea where to look? A workaround is to make a symlink, for example: ln -s display /usr/bin/show and then invoke ImageMagick with 'show'. A more radical workaround would be to unmerge kcontrol, but I haven't tried this. :) This seems like a bug in KDE: it should definitely skip checking for a KControl module name when there is a slash in the given command. Does anyone have an ideas where to start looking in KDE's mountain of code for this module-name check (to be able to provide a patch together with the bug report)?
