Doh... I've just realised that twice today I have given you bad information.
Deleting kdeglobals fixes the problem when your fonts go all weird in KDE, not the konqueror thing. My apologies... To fix the konqueror not starting up issue you have to delete /home/youruser/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc Deleting this file will lose all your konqueror preferences fonts etc. It will not delete your bookmarks, or affect your mails, but if you are nervous just rename the file. You could then change it back again later if you wished. Strange that you do not see the 'Netscape Plugins' page under KDEControlCenter>WebBrowsing It ought to appear as soon as you install the RPM. Which version of kdebase-nsplugins did you install? Does the version number match your installed version of KDE? It was made for Mandrake wasn't it? Sorry for giving you bad info,, but at least now you know what to do if KDE suddenly starts to not find some fonts ;-) derek On Wednesday 27 March 2002 22:03, Seedkum Aladeem wrote: > Will I lose my bookmarks and my kmail addresses and old emails?
