I tried to look at the Ximian XD2 desktop by installing on system. After logging to gnome and then deciding to log back to KDE, I found that Ximian Gnome had altered my KDE desktop. According to this list's archives this is because Ximian takes certain of the KDE desktop items and saves them in "old desktop". The Ximian "doorman" asks if you want your old desktop saved, but since I was logging in to gnome I expected Ximian to save my old gnome desktop not alter my KDE desktop. Not very funny because the icon cannot be opened normally in KDE since Konqueror does not work. Konqueror seriously does not work. Using Konsole to enter "konqueror" or "kfmclient openProfile filemanagement" also does not work (no error message, just seems to hang). Fortunately going to the SuSE menu/system/...superuser filemanager still works, so that the Ximian "old desktop" can be opened and the original icons for KDE returned to the desktop. Except that Konqueror and its variants still do not work. None of: Home directory Konqueror web browser windows directory share directory floppy cdr dvd The only way to see files in KDE is to use Konsole to call nautilus. BAD Ximian. The list archives suggest that adjusting the gnome settings to turn off the nautilus option of "show desktop" would solve the problem. This was the setting and it was reset and still no konqueror and way too much nautilus. If I log in to xfce or windowmaker, then konqueror or "kfmclient openProfile filemanager" work perfectly with all my original settings saved. However if I create a new user and then try to login to KDE, konqueror and its variants are still non-functional. I can function quite happily in xfce4, but I want to put Ximian gnome in its place and away from my KDE. Can anyone suggest how to recover konqueror for KDE?
