+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.
