Interesting. I got a similar bug[1] report because of spawning dolphins in a \
different context (but it doesn't happen here in either case)

The major difference i could tell is that the config entry is marked expandable when \
written by the component chooser - unfortunately there seems no way to do this with \
kwriteconfig. If KDE on MacOS also uses ~/.kde/share/config for configuration (or any \
other ini style config you can locate - "kde4-config --path config"), you could try \
to edit "~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals" directly. Locate the [General] group, find \
the BrowserApplication key and make it

BrowserApplication[$e]=!safari

Another idea would be that OSX doesn't like the "!" prefix (no idea why \
componentchooser writes it - here. Works fine w/o as well)

Because of the linked bug, i'd be pretty interested in *why* \
safari/konqueror/whatever spawns endlessy.

You'd have to write it globally in order to affect every user (and not just root)

Cheers,
