Dear David: Let me just point out that konqueror does not launch properly from KDE, Start, Internet, i.e. as a standalone browser as well as not launching from Kmail when launching a URL. The only thing I can say is that I upgraded my original Sarge to Etch by changing the sources in sources.list, first from "stable" to "sarge", then a few days later, from "sarge" to "etch" (every "sarge" was changed to "etch"), then apt-get update. I also upgraded the system apt-get upgrade, but always from the testing "etch" distro, NEVER from "unstable". So, how do I go about resolving this issue? Is there something I could uninstall, then reinstall? Perhaps even kde? I am willing to do it if it will work. I'd certainly hate to have to reinstall the entire system. One final note: Prior to switching to Debian 3.1 about two weeks ago, I ran Scientific Linux, a derivative of RHEL. I recall very clearly that I had the same problem of launching a URL from Kmail (spinning and shaking up and down in the taskbar). I recall this vividly because I discussed this with a member of the fedora- list, who suggested that I switch from Kmail to Thunderbird, which I, in fact, did. So, my hunch, as an ordinary user, based on my experience, is that this has something to do with Konqueror. This couldn't be a coincidence. And, though I know little about the inner workings of Kmail, I'd bet that the error message generated in the console is a clue to what's going on. None of the other browsers or Kmail itself generated any error messages whatsoever when run from the console. Hope you can help me troubleshoot this. Thank you for your efforts.
