 Subject: How to choose between builtin and external application : proposal
 
 How to configure between builtin and external viewers ?
 I discussed this with a friend, and here is what we come up with :
 
 * global defaults, set in kcontrol, for each mimetype group:
 
 text : use builtin viewer (yes/no)  [checkbox]
 image : use builtin viewer (yes/no)  [checkbox]
 other : use builtin viewer (yes/no)  [checkbox] (i.e. application/*, like dvi, ps...)
 
 * then, in the properties dialog for every mimetype:
 - use default (checkbox as "no change")
 - use builtin viewer (checkbox as "on")
 - use external application (checkbox as "off")
 
 (=> saved as X-KDE-AutoEmbed=true/false or no entry)
 
 This way, one can set choose between builtin and external for all text /
 images files, and set individual values too (e.g. an icon-team artist would
 set up external for xpm, to edit them, and builtin for jpeg, gif, ... to
 simply view them).  I would personnally set normal-text and english-text to
 builtin (to view READMEs) but c++, h, java, ... to my editor.
 
 And one that doesn't like embedded viewers (like Martin ;)) can set
 defaults to 'no' without having to change all mimetypes (text, c, c++, ...)
 but still use libkhtml for HTML pages, by setting 'use builtin' in the
 mimetype text/html - this is the way to keep the exact (though
 inconsistent) behaviour of 1.1-kfm.
 
 I suggest that factory defaults (i.e. configuration for first-time users)
 would be set to 'yes' for the three groups (-> use builtin)
 and would be 'use default' for mimetypes.
 This for speed reasons (embedded viewers are really fast) and also to show
 the new features ;)
 KOffice mimetypes have it set to no, though -> click edits.
