KDE users who wish to use their default browser and default email
client (as specified in KDE Control Centre) from Picasa - including
the KDE default "almost-instant" compose window whether kmail is
running or not - can use the following in Picasa hook scripts to do
so:

picasa-hook-email.sh:

#!/bin/bash
kde-open mailto:"$*"

picasa-hook-urlhandler.sh :

#!/bin/bash
kde-open "$*"

I'm sure this is well-known around here, but it would be helpful to
update the FAQ to tell people this, as:

1. it's more useful than the current answers given for KDE users, and
2. the FAQ as it stands is in slight error on whether it attempts to
use the default browser in KDE (that DCOP call is a call to konqy, not
an attempt to use the default browser).

I mention this because Picasa's proved useful to my friends and family
- if you're pushed for time WRT 2.2 on Linux, I can post some edited
FAQ for you to drop in.

Thanks guys.
