I wonder why? This is new behaviour, at least on my systems. In the past, multiple instances of konqueror peacefully co-existed and did exactly what one would naïvely expect. For years I have configured a the keyboard shortcut "alt-S" to be the command "konqueror", and have been able to start as many instances (processes) as I want with that method. For example: I am typing this on a stretch system. And between typing that last sentence and this one, I created five instances of konqueror. They all work perfectly. I've used konqueror since the old Mandrake days (somewhere around 2002 is my best guess). Multiple instances have always worked fine before on my systems. I find the change very mysterious... and the lack of documentation anywhere I can find to justify, or even describe this new behaviour, equally puzzling. > Perhaps you can work this around some way or > another, depending on your use case.

So the problem is solved -- if not understood -- and I thank you for this clue. Doc -- Web: http://enginehousebooks.com/drevans
