Quick Browser bug - how to fix?
I'm currently upgrading from SuSE 8.2 to 9.1, and have run into a bug involving the KDE Quick Browser. When you add a Quick Browser button to the KDE panel, and then click on the added button, the top two items in the menu that appears are supposed to be "Open in File Manager" and "Open in Terminal". The latter is supposed to open a bash window with the cwd set to the path selected through the menu. This is how it worked in SuSE 8.2, and also how the KDE documentation at www.kde.org says it's supposed to work. Instead, the "Open in Terminal" is missing, and there are two copies of "Open in File Manager". And it's not just a matter of an incorrect label; clicking on either one opens the file manager, and there's no apparent way to get the "Open in Terminal" functionality at all. Doing a little research, I was able to find that this issue appears at least twice in the KDE bug list at bugs.kde.org, as bugs # 75893 and 80688. The comments from the KDE developers indicate that the bug does not exist in the official version of KDE, but only occurs in the SuSE distribution, as a result of something SuSE did on their end. What I was not able to find, however, and what I would like to know, is how to fix the problem. Presumably whatever SuSE did to break it should be undoable, but I don't want to have to throw out all the work that SuSE put into KDE by downloading a barebones version from kde.org and configuring everything from scratch. Is there some configuration file I can tweak, or some alternate RPM I can install in place of SuSE's version of whichever one contains the bug?
