Hi,

I noticed that in PC-BSD 8 firefox is nicely integrated into KDE.
Anybody knows how to achieve this on FreeBSD 8?

I believe you mean that you need KDE to open Firefox whenever you click
on a link. That's easy. From your KDE menu, open "System Settings" (in
the first tab, "favorites")
Then select "Default Applications". Then, in the left list of the
applications, choose "Web browser", and at the right part of the screen
choose the radio button "in the following browser" and in the edit box
enter the "/usr/local/bin/firefox3". Then apply the new settings.

Another trick that PC-BSD uses....which might be more of what you are
asking about is the installation of a port called
x11-themes/gtk-qt4-engine This port allows gtk applications to be
displayed using qt, which helps integrate the look of things like FF,
Thunderbird, OOo with KDE.

I already installed the gtk-qt4-engine, but it has some serious bugs. Scroll
bars are not painted, tab borders are painted at the wrong position, etc.
Could this be because I modified some of KDEs appearance options?

Are there any other integration tweaks, like icons, keyboard shortcuts, file
chooser dialog, ... ?

Thanks,
Anselm
