Since the above, but maybe not because of it, as a normal user my konqueror ikons in the panel and menu look active but don't deliver. I can only get a working konq window by 'kdesu konqueror' and then either giving or 'Ignoring' the root password. The colours differ, as I wanted. But how do I get working konq ikons back, and in file browser default mode? TIA John P
