Dear Ron:
Thanks so much for suggesting "bkmrkconv". I did in fact see it while

OK, there is a minor problem after building and installing
XFree86-4.0.1. I set it up with Xfcfg (nice) and restarted.
I get KDM, login, and get my KDE environment. I can start
netscape and most other apps but what I cannot do is start
konsole. When I try, it produces an error:
