emacs and kde (Konqueror)

emacs and kde (Konqueror)

[reader]

I use emacs in a kde desktop regularly and have come to like to use
the kde browser konqueror for any links etc.

Currently when I hit a URL in emacs it starts a fresh konqueror, even
if one is running already.  I'd like to start a new tab when konqueror
is already running.

What I currently have in .gnus is:
(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-kde)

What do I need in there to start a tab in cases where konqueror is
already running?

I believe you have to do this in konqueror.  Look at the advanced
settings for tabs in konqueror, there you can select that external
URLs are to open in a new tab, not in new window.

For mozilla/firefox there's browse-url-mozilla-is-new-tab variable (or
something like that).  Perhaps there is a similar setting for kde?

You can set this in konqueror itself: 

  Settings -> Web Behavior -> Tabbed Browsing -> Advanced Options
           -> [X] Open as tab in existin Konqueror when URL is called
                  externally
