Thanks for the above reference. However, I will have to power up my old XP laptop to view it because my Konqueror only shows me the source, making life a little difficult :-)
Oh boy. In Linux there's always another way. :-) Install Opera, Mozilla or Firefox for browsing. Never ever fire up XP again if you can help it. :-) I did think about that, but as a newbie I am timid... I have the feeling that Konqueror goes with kde, and Mozilla goes with gnome, and I am unsure if I can have them both installed???

Do you think that I should re-install? I am a newbie, so I guess I won't needing kdelibs3-devel ? Do I need to un-install anything, or just try installing over the top?
Before reinstalling anything let's make sure that it isn't your *configuration* that's hosed, because if it is, reinstalling won't help you. Rename .kde to .kde_old, Log out and log in again. KDE then will reinstall a clean configuration for all applications. Now test konqueror again. If it *still* balks about khtml then I think you should reinstall kdelibs3 and kde-addons3, although I cannot figure how you could break the system by just changing the preferences. 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. :-)
If you have to reinstall the two libraries, you must first uninstall them. If you try do that in Yast it will go mildly ballistic, because you break a *lot* of things. So you'll have to use the command line. In case it is necessary I'll walk you through the steps. However I'm on holiday for the next week. That was already planned. :-)
PS: I like Amsterdam. And nice people.
<shameless plug> Heh. If you like Amsterdam, visit Delft next time you're in the Netherlands. It's easily the most beautiful little city of the country. </shameless plug> If you do, I'll buy you a beer. Hey, I like your beer. Whatever you do, don't drink Fosters - we export that. But we keep Crown Larger and our Tasmanian beers for ourselves :-) Best regards, -- Jos van Kan www.josvankan.tk If you don't hear from me you'll know my attempts to the above failed. Have a great holiday. Colin
