I didn't try renaming that directory but the only thing in there that might 
have been relevent was the konqueror.rc file (I think) which I deleted 
entirely and no go.  

One thing that is very confusing trying to figure this out is which directory 
KDE is using.  .kde3 or .kde3.1.  I have been told on the KDE list that it's 
.kde3 but there are files in my .kde3.1 directory that seem to be getting 
used such as my /home/carlos/.kde3.1/share/conf/bookmark.xml file.  

At least my new user (junk) is working just fine.  

There are so many files in my KDE directories that seem to be relevant to 
Konqueror that it's a real pain to try and figure out which one's I should 
copy over.  It's definitely not doing any good deleting or copying over 
konquerorrc by itself.  What I am trying now is to reproduce the error in my 
new user and look through a terminal with "find /home/<new_user>/ -mmin -5" 
to see which files have been accessed to see which files I need to copy over.

This happens will all kinds of directories Tom.  I have tried opening my home 
directory.  /usr, /usr/doc.  All kinds.  Konqueror closes out as soon as I 
try to view any directory through it.  The same thing happens when I enter 
any directory into the Ctrl-F2 window.  Konqueror opens temporarily and then 
closes right out on me.  Before I even have a chance to do anything in it.  

I think I've discoverd a serious bug but it's a pain in the butt to track this 
one down.  If I can just get my regular user going again I can then start 
doing what I did before to try and reproduce it.  But so far I haven't been 
able to restore Konqueror for my regular user.
