It's a quirk.  'xdg-settings get' under a given DE will give the *DE* 
preference.  One KDE, that happens to be whatever is given in 
systemsettings->Default Applications

xdg-settings set ... however, is indeed quirky/buggy atm in that it sets the 
XDG way, that gtk/gnome/thunderbird respects.  (which is why I suggested 
it).
