Here we are again after removing .kde4 and trying to get everything I needed
back in. Fingers crossed!
Anyway, I found that the KDE3 version of Konqueror is embedded in the KDE3
base system. That’s why YAST can’t find it on a search for “Konqueror”.
What I did was to go into YAST, select “patterns” and remove the KDE3 base
system! A bit drastic and a few things got lost along the roadside, such as
Amarok, but I’ll wait to see if I need any of it. I checked the “Kickoff
Application Launcher” and found that the KDE3 versions of Konqueror had
gone. I then tried un-installing and then re-installing the KDE4 version but
it didn’t get put in the menu.
It seemed the only way to get KDE4 Konqueror in KAL was to to it by hand.
The command for the KDE3 version was “kfmclient openProfile filemanagement”.
Using this same command launched the KDE4 version. I note that the command
for the super-user mode is “konqueror -profile filemanagement”. As far as I
can see these commands do the same thing - but someone more knowledgeable
about the arcane wonders of Linux commands than me may say different - and
the only thing making it suoer-user is that in the “advanced” tab, “run as a
different user” is ticked.
If you don’t want the fun and games I’ve had, I suspect that using “menu
edit” for KAL and adding Konqueror with the full route specifiedin the
command. I haven’t tried this myself. Didn’t think I’d have as much fun as
dumping KDE3.
