So, I tried opening just one file, and .... it failed! Nothing! I had a look with ps and saw :
guy 2872 1815 9 12:37 ? 00:00:24 kdeinit: kview -caption KView -icon kview -miniicon kview
guy 2883 1815 0 12:38 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit: kio_file file /tmp/ksocket-guy/klauncherZhLT7a.slave-socket /tmp/ksocket-guy/kviewJtY8Ya.slave-socket
The socket file /tmp/ksocket-guy/kviewJtY8Ya.slave-socket seems to be missing. I'll get out of kde, delete the whole socket dir and try again. I'll let you know the outcome. For now I'll post this reply.
It didn't change a thing. There's sth wrong with the creation of that missing socket file I mentioned and since it's not there there's no image coming through to kview and you see nothing! So, this time, it's a disaster.
Guy.
