First things first, this problem only occurs for my "normal" user account, it's not there for a fresh user.
When I launch Konqueror as Web Browser from Kickoff or from its Panel icon, internally kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing is executed, which in turn starts konqueror --silent. This Konqueror instance remains totally silent, it doesn't show a window or give any other outward signs of being alive. I've tried this, too, with another When I start konqueror --silent from the command line, it just sits there read-polling on /tmp/.X11-unix/X0. By contrast, konqueror without any options opens a browser window. As I understand it, and I may be wrong, silent konqueror processes are a performance boost configurable in Settings > Configure Konqueror > Performance. In my case, 1 instance is meant to be kept around (no preloading). konqueror --silent, presumably, is intended to explicitly start such a spare instance. However, in my case this spare instance is never used as each new launch of Konqueror from Kickoff results in a new konqueror --silent process. I've exchanged konquerorrc and webbrowsing for copies from the fresh account, but this didn't make a difference. Therefore, I take it, the problem is hidden in some other part of my configuration Michael -- Michael Schuerig mailto:mich...@schuerig.de http://www.schuerig.de/michael/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
