konqueror locks up as user

Hi all Sorry for the newbie question- I was using Konqueror to try and browse my files as user, and for some reason it just locks up and it wont show any files what so ever. This only happens when I am trying to look at my home dir. I can see files in the root directories just fine. And everything is ok if I log in as root. I poured of all the browser settings and I cant see anything Has anyone else seen this before? If so, how do I fix it? Btw, Im using SuSE 8.2 on a Dell Inspiron 8200 with kde 3.1 Much thanks Tony
