OK.  Since you're not using an unofficial binary then it should be
easier to figure this out.

That's right.  That's where Fink installs stuff.

No, those aren't "/usr".  It's hidden so that the Finder can't see it.

No, they are fine where they are.  Don't move stuff around!

The problem that you're having is that Konqueror is configured to look
for /usr/libexec/ssh-askpass, which doesn't exist on your system,
rather than for Fink's /sw/lib/ssh-askpass.

I didn't find an obvious place within konqueror itself where that
would be configured.  Maybe try quitting KDE and starting it again and
see if it reconfigures itself correctly.
