Yes, I am familiar with Konqueror's EXPECTED :-) behavior as a file manager 
and a web browser. That's why I am posting this since it appears something
is amiss ("a miss"???).

Anyway, thanks for the sanity check.

BTW (to everyone else), I did major google searches, debian-kde archive searches,
and a fair amount of experimentation. I did see some reference to Konq crashes, 
plugins, and libc6 2.2.4 vs 2.2.1. I am reluctant to drop libc versions without 
more concrete corroborating info.

Thanks all,
