I have a strange problem with Konqueror. If I click on a folder on my
desktop or in the Konqueror file-manager window I get an alert
"KDEInit could not launch '<whatever-the-URL>' ", once for the desktop
folders and twice within Konqueror. Same thing happens with the icon
bar navigation icons. Yet I can open folders in a new tab OK.
If I start Konqueror from the command line I get the following:
wulfy@Yewdales-lodge:~$ konqueror
kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::initPrivate(): trying to assign a
shortcut (Alt+Plus) to an unnamed action.

[It starts in browser mode, I change to file-manager mode and try to
open a folder in the window. I am not trying to remove anything,
despite the last line!]
I tried googling but nothing useful coming up. I've tried
dpkg-reconfigure for both Konqueror and KDEInit. Nothing changed. I
logged out and in again, same thing. I even (in desperation!)
rebooted. Then I was doing something else and using the "Super User
Mode File Manager" and everything worked, at least within Konqueror.
So it looks like something in my user configuration got hosed. I have
no idea where to look and what to do to fix it. Any ideas? If I
haven't given enough info, just tell me what commands to use and I'll
post the output.
Thanks!
