Thanks for your help.  Will wait until 4.3.4 or later becomes stable in case 
my problem is magically fixed.  ;-)

 This is usually called the status bar - I might guess you may be

Thanks Stroller!

I couldn't find where to change this setting.  Then went into 
~/.kde4/share/apps/konqueror/profiles/webbrowsing and changed 
ViewStatus=Disabled to Enabled.

Strange this, when I reopened the file just now I couldn't find this entry 
anymore ... I guess that only non-default settings are shown in that file?  
However, I don't recall changing this setting from default.

Anyway, this is now fixed!  Thanks.  :)

Only other two things that bother me are these:

In KDE3.5 when I hovered over files I used to get a preview of their contents 
in a thumbnail.  This was particularly useful with configuration, scripts and 
log files as it would show the first few lines of text in them.  Any idea how 
I could enable this?  Again I can't find a setting in Konqueror's settings and 
I have enabled the preview in Dolphin's settings.

[gentoo-user] [OT] Konqueror URL links

2009-12-28 Thread Mick
Hi All,

I remember that when I hovered my mouse over links in web pages on Konq 3.5, 
it would show at the bottom of the window the URL that the link in question 
contained.  This allowed me to decide if I wanted to visit the URL or not.

With KDE4 I can't find how to activate this.  Any ideas?
