I get the same behavior as you do. The window that pops up has choices, 
most are related to k3b, do nothing , or ope\n in new window..which 
will mount it.

I will need to play around with it, later, but it this 'seems' like it 
could be a mine type issue, edit mime types and put the default 
behavior for the action you want ?
