A Gnome user will be offended if you spool up the entire KDE environment just to launch a URL; a KDE user will be similarly offended by gnome-open. Further, if I'm a Gnome user, I may have KDE on my system, and kfmclient exec may work, but it's likely to not be the browser I *really* want used.
The standard that's developing is that you don't invoke a KDE program unless KDE_FULL_DESKTOP is set and you don't invoke a Gnome session unless GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID is set.

I had thought about this, though I wasn't aware of any good way of detecting KDE/Gnome running. A quick googling shows that it's actually KDE_FULL_SESSION though, not KDE_FULL_DESKTOP.
I'll add in this feature and post an updated patch shortly.
