kaboodle thinks it can handle streaming media, but it can't

Description of Problem: noatun believes it can take streaming media from URLs, but it can't. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): noatun 1.2.0 from kdemultimedia 2.2-10 How Reproducible: every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select a ftp:// or http:// URL of an .mpg or .mp3 stream, causing klipper to offer to open the URL in konqueror 2. konqueror hands off the url to noatun, which is bound to this mime type. Step 1 could be skipped if you simply enter the URL into konqueror's location field. Actual Results: noatun opens, but nothing plays. game over. Expected Results: noatun .desktop file doesn't attempt to take streaming URLs, and is forced to make a local copy first. Must use %f instead of %u I believe. Even better, noatun learns how to use streaming media / kio, for chrissakes. If either one of these is going to take too long, lower the priority of noatun in the mimetypes bindings, so that xmms becomes the default. xmms works just fine for all these scenarios. Additional Information:
in KDE 3, noatun (the KDE Media Player) seems to handle streaming media, but Kaboodle doesn't, and it is also associated with the streaming media types. They need to be removed.
it does not appear in the current release.
