In FC6 (test 2,test 3 and final release), Konqueror will not run. You click on the menu item and nothing happens. This is true on two different machines.
It works if I do this from the command line:
/usr/bin/konqueror Link points to "/tmp/ksocket-root" Link points to "/tmp/kde-root" kbuildsycoca running... Reusing existing ksycoca
Any ideas?

It's not a general problem. I have run all those tests and not seen it.

Why 'root' I wonder? Did you have a crash at some time while using konq in super-user mode?
I'd try deleting /tmp/ksocket-root and /tmp/kde-root (as root, of course) then ctrl-alt-backspace.

Nope..no crashes. Also, I did a brand new install of FC6 and it does it there too. I tried all of these but still it will not load from the menu. What does ctrl-alt-backspace do??

It restarts X - like log out then back in - and therefore restarts kde. You should get those two files re-written, but as you, not as root.

I'm having the same problem with a fully updated FC5, so I am guessing that there is a bug in the latest RPMs. Someone should do a bug report... Probably you since you first discovered this, Arch.
Peace, William

Hello, William Since I compile KDE from source, the "redhat-menus" RPM always hoses my KMenu. So I run "rpm -e --nodeps redhat-menus" and my KMenu always goes back to the way that it is supposed to be. Also, I sometimes have to re-install redhat-menus when I run "yum update" Sometimes one of the updates depends on redhat-menus. Then, after "yum update" has completed, I immediately remove "redhat-menus" as described above. By this point, you are wondering, what does this have to do with not being able to start Konqueror from the Menu? I have discovered that with "redhat-menus" installed, not only can't I start Konqueror from the Menu, but I cannot start Konqueror from the Icon on my Kicker. (Actually, I have to go all the way to the Internet sub-menu to even find Konqueror. "redhat-menus" seems to do a real number on my KMenu...) But, as soon as I uninstall "redhat-menus", my KMenu is repopulated, the "Home" icon reappears in KMenu, and I can now start Konqueror from the Icon that I have on Kicker.
Check out these screenshots and see if they look like anything you've seen:
With "redhat-menus" installed: http://www.afolkey2.net/Projects/kmenu-1038am.jpg
With "redhat-menus" removed: http://www.afolkey2.net/Projects/kmenu-1039am.jpg

I use Gnome so I couldn't necessarily tell you right now. Anyway, this still doesn't change the fact that this is a bug that should be fixed. If you seem to be saying that this existed in FC5 before the most recent update, why hasn't anybody noticed it up until now?
Have a Great Day, Too, William
