This is probarly a mandrake-thingy.. Some googling tells me something about the "mandrake security level" aka "msec level". You'll have to do some more digging on your mandrake-box yourself I guess... ;) Maybe as a "quick and dirty-fix", you could try to move the directory to another place like for instance / (/everyone). > members cannot write to the directory.

These kind of mistakes *as root* aren't very funny... :( Maybe it's just a way of letting you know/confirm you're running konquerer as root. But I don't use Konquerer either...
