Re: [newbie] kword crash help sought

2003-07-21 Thread Andrei Raevsky
Hi,

I could start konqueror without any problems.  Then I tried kword and
exactly the same thing happened.

I then tried something else.  Clicking on a *.kwd file from konqueror.  No
associated application was found and I was given the dialog box to choose
application to open the file with.

Does that make any sense?!

thanks!

 I usually use Windowmaker, but I noticed that KDE seemed to have lost
 some of the links from the bottom task and is generally messed up.
 This is true for *all* users.

 Kmail and kppp work just fine (thanks God!).

 This might have been caused by a recent data loss on my ext3
 filesystem suring shutdown.

 What should I do?  Reinstall all of KDE?  Make a complete upgrade from
 Mdk9 to Mdk9.1?  I do not really need Kword (I use OpenOffice which
 works fine) but I do use plenty of KDE apps and the kmail/kppp pair is
 vital for me.

 And what's a MimeType on kword's dektop file anyway?

 Thanks!

 Andrei

 Andrei;
 I just caught this post in the other group, but will give a go at it
 here: What about trying this - fire up Konqueror before any other KDE
 applications - THEN after Konq is started, try to fire up KWord...

Something's fishy.
What about blowing out the prefs file for KWord and trying again?
