I just committed support for x-scheme-handler/* to KDE, it will be in KDE SC 4.6.

=====================

Add support for defining "helper protocols" (e.g. "mailto URLs should launch the executable kmailservice")
using .desktop files (with a custom mimetype, x-scheme-handler/mailto, as added to shared-mime-info recently)
rather than using .protocol files (which are KDE-specific). Converted the two in KIO, but the code can still
handle old-style .protocol files. Unit-tested.
