Launching root konsole from kicker; konsole is always root.

Hi, After a recent reinstall of Debian Lenny, I tried to reproduce a previous setup where I could launch Konsole as normal user, or as root, using two separate icons on the KDE panel. No go this time - I tried konsole as a different user, but this results in a freeze of the panel itself and e

Flash in Konqueror

Hi, Any tips for how to get Flash working in Konqueror (latest Etch)? I have the flashplugin-nonfree from Debian, the one from Adobe and the mozplugin package, and have scanned for and found the .so files using the Plugins tab of Control Center. It works fine in Iceape. Thanks for any sugges

Kwallet + kdesu?

Hi, I'm wondering if it is possible to use kwallet to take care of the root password when it is (or would be) requested by kdesu, and if so, how. The googling I've done suggests it isn't currently possible. In that case, I will file a wishlist bug (unless anyone has a reason I shouldn't). Reg

Kdesu has forgotten root password

Hi list, This one has me stumped: in the middle of a session, kdesu stopped accepting my password, saying it was incorrect. So now I can't run adept, root Konsole or Konqueror etc, as easily as I'd like! Normal su in a console works fine, kwallet accept the same password, other vts are OK with

Konqueror and auto-opening local .html files

Hi, I'm running testing and have lately noticed a change in Konqueror's behaviour when dealing with local HTML files. If I open a folder which contains certain files (so far all called index.html), Konqueror will automatically open that file as a web page, which means one cannot browse the re

Hi, I'm using testing, upgraded regularly but still on KDE 3.3.2 because of dependency issues. As of yesterday, the KDE startup screen hangs, accompanied by a small box in the upper right corner saying (IIRC): "Could not launch kdeinit. Check your installation". Pressing OK on this box allows
