It's rather strange that it would/should do this, but it would appear as though some things need to be modified in order to have Konq eithe be found a bit faster, or have Konq find it's dependencies a bit faster. One thing that I ALWAYS do on EVERY system I get my grubbies on is to make sure the following lines are in the /etc/profile: KDEDIR='/usr' export KDEDIR ..and as well, I modify my /etc/ld.so.conf file so that all possible libs are in there and then re-run ldconfig to rebuild the cache (example): /usr/kerberos/lib /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/qt2/lib /usr/lib/sane /usr/lib/qt-1.45/lib /usr/lib/wine /usr/lib/mysql /usr/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/lib/qt-3.0.5/lib /usr/local/java/lib /usr/lib/qt3-gcc2.96/lib /usr/local/lib/xine/plugins/1.0.0/post /usr/lib/OpenOffice.org1.0/program /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib/ /opt/quasar/firebird/lib /opt/quasar/sybase/lib And even moreso - since you're running KDE applications from withing Blackbox, you might want to run "kdeinit" in the blackbox startup - this initialises the KDE DCOP server and services; hence when you've got it up and running already in the background as Blackbox is running, any KDE application you fire up is going to fire up quickly and more smoothly. Also check your menu files for Blackbox to make sure that the exec entries are correct and not "wrapping" the executable with another program...that's helpful. Meanwhile, it's now Saturday, and y'all still in Friday, so I'll go watch cartoons. -- Sat, 8 Mar 2003 07:15:01 +1100 7:15am up 1 day, 8:40, 5 users, load average: 0.23, 0.36, 0.41 ------------------------------------------------------------------ | __ __ | kuhn media australia | | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | | ;"""/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | |----------------------------------------------------------------| | linux user:267497 * RH 7.3/8.1 * Mandrake 9.1 * Microsoft Free | | PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Web/Graphics/Consulting | ------------------------------------------------------------------ (CBG sits on a Portaloo reading "Zebra Girl") CBG: Oh, it appears I will have to find a new fortress of solitude.
