Yep thats a common problem. It often seems to be associated with installing the rpm kdebase-nsplugins To fix it open KDE Control Centre>WebBrowsing>NetscapePlugins If the 'Scan for new plugins at KDE startop' box is checked then uncheck it click 'Apply' then restart KDE. If it is still no good then in a terminal type cd ~/.kde/share/config rename konquerorrc konquerorrc.bak and then restart KDE. This will remove your konqueror settings. On restarting a new file will be created and your konq will revert to default settings. It should then start OK. HTH derek
