Hi Jos, I'm still in trouble.
If the clean configuration works OK you can either keep that and reconfigure the other apps, like kmail and your desktop. Alternatively you could try to find which configuration file exactly broke the donkey's back by exchanging suspect files from working to non working configuration. My experience is that the first plan takes a lot less time. :-)

I did your rename trick and it fixed things, but upset a lot of other things :-) In particular it broke my email configuration, so I am back and forth with reboots.
I cannot understand why you would have to reboot. I *could* understand why you would have to restart KDE, but you can do that by simply logging out and logging in again. Renaming .kde didn't break it the kmail configuration, it just gave you a clean configuration of everything. As I told you (but that apparently did not register) you would have to reconfigure a couple of applications. You have a clean configuration of kmail that you have to reconfigure. You also could copy .kde_old/share/config/kmailrc and kmail.eventsrc to your new .kde/share/config to try to recover the kmail settings.
When I point Konqueror to a web site it opens the site's home page, displaying the html information. Then I click on a indexed item (or on an html file on my disc) and I get the message:
What do you mean by point? Enter the URL in the location bar? What do you mean by indexed item? A hyperlink? If you put file://"FULL_PATH_TO_FILENAME" in the location bar, what happens?
Regards, Colin PS: Jos, I hope you had a good holiday.
I had, but I got the feeling that I need another one within short. :-) Best regards,1 -- Jos van Kan www.josvankan.tk
