Hi, In a further attempt to solve this problem I have purged all kde packages and their configuration files; removed all local configuration files; ensured my package lists were up-to-date ind re-installed only konqueror (bringing with it kcontrol as a dependency).
The problem remains - there are no options for configuration. This renders all kde web applications unusable, as I cannot configure a proxy; and all kde apps in general ugly, as I cannot configure a style :-) Any help or advice is greatly appreciated as konqueror was my primary web browser. -- Jonathan Dowland http://jon.dowland.name/
