[gentoo-user] Re: KDE 5: Broken file protocol for KDE 4 apps

[Jörg Schaible]

Anyone? After upgrading a second machine to KDE/Plasma 5, I have the same 
behavior there. All KDE-4-based apps fail to interact with the file system. 
Using KMail I can no longer add any attachment to an email nor save an 
existing attachment to disk.
