Hmm... it does that here too. Typing, instead of 'display', things |
| 7 |
like 'background', 'desktop' or 'mouse' opens the corresponding |
| 8 |
KControl module. Apparently "Open With" and "Alt+F2" check the |
| 9 |
given command to see if it contains the name of a KControl module, |
| 10 |
and launches it when found. Being KDE, this should be configurable |
| 11 |
I guess, but who has an idea where to look? |

A workaround is to make a symlink, for example: |
| 14 |
ln -s display /usr/bin/show |
| 15 |
and then invoke ImageMagick with 'show'. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
A more radical workaround would be to unmerge kcontrol, but I |
| 18 |
haven't tried this. :) |

This seems like a bug in KDE: it should definitely skip checking for |
| 21 |
a KControl module name when there is a slash in the given command. |
| 22 |
Does anyone have an ideas where to start looking in KDE's mountain |
| 23 |
of code for this module-name check (to be able to provide a patch |
| 24 |
together with the bug report)? |
