okay. using potato with kde* as my desktop environ, i browse
using konqueror to site xyz which has a file of unknown mime
type; if i click to visit the file, i'm given the option of
saving the file or opening it. (same situation for a file local
to my file system, of course...)
if i try to open/view the file, konqueror launches another
window (apparently the algorithm being
if understood (mime-type) then {
display in this window
} else {
launch new knoqueror window to display it
}
which makes the new window launch another window because it
doesn't know how to display it, and then the another-new window
launches yet-another-new window because...
while they spawn like minxes, i can alt-f4 to close them, but i
don't have much time to enter anything into an rxvt window
between window-spawns. the only fix i've found is to kill the
kdeinit super process -- and then i can't launch ANYTHING new
until i log out of the kde session and back in again...
14839 ? S 0:00 kdeinit: Running... <== must die
14843 ? S 0:00 \_ kdeinit: kwin
14844 ? S 0:00 | \_ rxvt

14849 pts/2 S 0:01 | \_ ssh 192.168.1.1
14864 ? S 0:11 \_ kdeinit: konqueror
who's the real culprit, and how can i repair this situation?

:
SLINK was the code name for Debian release 2.1; POTATO is
Debian 2.2 (currently a synonym for "stable") and WOODY is
the upcoming release (currently a synonym for "testing").
And SID is "unstable".
The names are all characters from the movie "Toy Story".
