Hi,

Here's an intresting kfm bug that two people have been able to reproduce.

1. Open a tar.gz file in kfm so you see the contents.
2. Drag and drop a file somewhere else, say the desktop and create a link
to it.
3. You get a file your desktop called say:

file:/home/asj/dl/STL_doc.tar.gz#tar:/STL_doc/table_of_contents.html

Everything ok so far.

4. Now try and open the file by clicking on it.

Now kfm just brings up try "Trying to open" dialog and sits therefor ever.
You get a message on stderr saying: "KSlave: fork & pipes up, starting
soon...! " but nothing ever happends.

5. For yet more fun! While the "Trying to open dialog is still showing, go
and open the tar file which containts the file you are trying to open, you
see the constents. Descend the tar file until you get to the same dir as
the file you are trying to open. (in this case STL_doc) and kfm segfaults.
