Your uid and gid will both likely be 1000. Could you please give me a bit more info on how to do this. Bear in mind that with the new user account, Konqueror is working ok. It's my original user account where Konqueror is getting bolshi, and refusing to connect. I just tried running Konqueror from the Konsole while su'ed to root, and get. kbuildsycoca running... KWrited - Listening on Device /dev/pts/2 Then Konqueror opens, and I can access the Internet ok, but I admit that this is running as root. If you can give me some instructions for changing permissions with Konqueror while logged out of the original users account, I'll give it a try, but am reaching the conclusion that removing Konqueror from the desktop is the best way to go to save my sanity. I'd post to to the Konqueror authors, but have no replies in the past from KDE app authors, so that's probably a waste of time. Nigel. Just a little glitch, but no reason to give up on KDE. ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
