Just add a link to application to your desktop, or use Alt+F2 and run

kdesu -c konqueror

to get what you want.

That's still being debated on cooker occasionally. It's a pain in the assets, 
but I have learnt to ignore it.

Hot plugging removable media seems to still have a few bumps Kaj. I'm not sure 
but I'll see what I can see tomorrow when I'm scheduled to update a system to 
9.2. If I find anything of interest, like a workaround, I'll let you know.

You can also pick a different theme if you want. Find the available themes in 
/usr/share/bootsplash. Or in /etc/bootsplash. You can change the theme by 
using:

sh switch-themes <nameoftheme>

to pick a new one from the available sets. Available theme names are listed by

sh switch-themes -l

to see what's currently being used:

sh switch-themes -c

as super user in the /usr/share/bootsplash/scripts directory. I suppose you 
could add it to your path so you wouldn't have to cd to that directory but I 
don't think it's something many people will do very often anyway.

Back to the salt mine! Have fun Kaj
