[gentoo-user] Clicking on URLs in kmail-1.13.7 launches libreoffice

Over the last couple of weeks I noticed that when I click on a URL in an email 
I get libreoffice launching a few seconds after Konqueror has opened up the URL.

I think this started happening after the recent update of KDE to 4.7.4 and 
after the initial "what the ... " it is now becoming annoying.

Have you noticed anything similar?

Any ideas how I could fix this?

No idea, but this happens here also. Not annoying yet, but also not restricted 
to kmail afaict. I click somewhere and loffice starts.

Best,
Michael

I remember having this happen under StarOffice way back on Win95.
Sounds like you've got to re-select your preferred application
handlers. I don't know the process for this in KDE.

Already checked those. Nothing suspicious in there. Sometimes loffice even 
starts when I click on my (empty) desktop, in the url bar of firefox or in some 
empty area of an application, where no preferred application would be started. 
Happens about once a week and I click a lot, so I don't care too much :)

Best,
Michael

I'm not running KDE on the desktop, so as far as I have noticed here it only 
happens when I click on a URL in an email in Kmail.  This happens every time 
without failure.  Other apps seem to operate normally.

I assume it is a KDE problem.

However, in the KDE File Associations, libreoffice is not showing anywhere in 
html or text as a relevant application to open such files with.  So, I'm 
assuming some other setting is pulling it in.

Not sure it's really the same thing, but I saw libreoffice open when clicking on,
um, I'm forgetting what kind of link it was, but the cause was the nsbrowser
plugin that comes with libreoffice:

/usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.4/program/nsplugin.sav
(plus a symlink to that file in /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/)

Heh, adding the .sav on the filename is how I fixed the problem :)

Actually the latest libreoffice has changed the name to libnpsoplugin.so,
which doesn't seem to cause me any problems so I let it live.

Thanks for this Walt!

I'm running app-office/libreoffice-3.4.5.2 which has the nsplugin USE flag 
activated.  However, in settings it does not offer an option to select a 
default Internet browser for opening URLs.

I'm not going to rebuild the darn thing just for this problem, so I'll wait 
for the next version.

Meanwhile, I changed its access rights from 0755 to 0754 and it seems to not 
bother me anymore when I click on links:

ls -la /usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.4/program/nsplugin
-rwxr-xr-- 1 root root 64208 Jan 17 23:40 
/usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.4/program/nsplugin
