I would have no problem with this at all. My main issue was with the first 
poster's assertion that the syntax was difficult. 

In fact, because you mentioned kfmclient would automatically figure out the 
right browser, the implementation of this would be trivial: just add a line 
like so to startkde:

test -z "$BROWSER" && export BROWSER="kfmclient openURL %s"
