Hello SuSE people. Recently upgraded KDE to 3.1.1. Running SuSE 8.1. Just one of the Users has encountered the following problem. (There are two other users and root which do not have this problem) Anytime this user tries to invoke a command which starts Konqueror, it fails. Below is the logging output from the failure. Konqueror starts to load and then fails, completely dissapearing.
