when trying to open links in konqueror's 'edit bookmarks' window, or links in pan (newsreader), i get a bunch of kfmclients spawned (and re-spawning) without opening the link. i posted this as a bug, & Ngo Than kindly suggested trying this as a new user. this worked. can somebody suggest an alternative to moving all my files over (to the new useer)? thanks charles zeitler : Do What Thou Wilt : : Shall Be : : The Whole of The Law : --Aleister Crowley--
