Dear Kent:
No, absolutely not!
I downloaded the Debian 3.1 iso, burned it into a CD and installed it clean
and fresh into its own separate disk (dev/hdd), which I made sure Debian
first deleted, then partitioned, then formatted, then installed.
And, once again, I do not have any such problem with any other browser
(Firefox, Mozilla, Gaelon, Epiphany). This is a Konqueror issue. At least,
that's what I think.
