Because they are all in the DOSbox project/forum and they confirmed this bug
happens only in OpenSuSE because the RPM doesn't set up the correct parameters
when launched from the menu.
step by step reproduction instructions which have been independently confirmed
says "can't duplicate" it is highly offensive. It means they didn't try or
that they didn't follow the instructions.
I even tried with my fresh install of OpenSuSE 11.1 64-bit and all updates
applied. Same results.
My guess is one of two things:
You two, the only two I've found who claim it works on OpenSuSE 64-bit 11.1,
have something else installed which is adding an entry to an "rc" file in
kde4/share/config or .kde/share/config which is allowing it to work. The rest
of us aren't installing that, or have removed the item(s) due to other bugs
it/they caused.
Just about everybody on the planet has removed the [paths] section from
kde4/share/config/kdeglobals because it hoses up Dolphin. Do you both still
have this section in that file? If so, is Dolphin going to your Documents
directory instead of your home? Take that section out. Dolphin will now work
correctly and I bet you can reproduce the problem.

Who are all the people who can confirm this? Why aren't they here?

happens only in OpenSuSE because the RPM doesn't set up the correct parameters
when launched from the menu.
Because I've been in IT over 20 years and when a support person given detailedWhy do write in such an unfriendly tone?
