Where do I go from here? If I move .kde will I lose all my music icons from the desktop? Renaming, or moving kio_httprc, and kioslaverc has no effect. Creating a new user works, and I can access Konqueror as user. As original user I can access the Internet with Firefox, and Opera. Also there are no problems with KDE's Konsole in using apt-get for updates, but it that case it's su'ed to root. Also I can use KDE's super user filemanage in webbrowser mode, again this is running as root, but accesses the Internet ok. This appears to be a permissions problem specifically for Konqueror accessing the gateway from my original username. I don't believe it has anything to do with DNS, as I can't even access the Smoothwall firewalls http server using the gateway address. All I'd like to know is. What sort of mess will my desktop be in if I move .kde, then log out, and back in. I do want to fix this, but don't see why I should have to perhaps trash .kde just to fix a Konqueror problem. Anyway after a few beers, anythings worth a go.
