2 quick KDE-related issues

[poly_poly-man]

1. Whenever I try to open a link to a webpage in something besides konqueror (like the scrolling rdf reader on my panel, or a link in kmail, or a link in kopete, etc.), whatever the program was in which I clicked the link, crashes. I can then kill -9 it, then restart it, but it never opens the page. This get really annoying, for example, if I see an article I want to see in the rdf reader, then I can't read it without going all the way through the page where it originated.

2. In amarok (I know, wrong forum - but help me out anyway ), it totally works, I can play all my music or whatever, but I can't see the names of anything in the playlist window. It seems that all the headers shifted over too far left, because occasionally I can add enough headers to the point where I see the tail end of the last one. As root (or another user), this doesn't happen, only as my actually user.

How can I fix these issues?

1) Do you have any program currently set for KDE to automatically use as a browser? (Check KControl)

2) Could you provide a screenshot, I think I know what you are talking about, but I think seeing it would help clarify it for me.

the html type is set for konqueror as top, khtml for embedding first of all. In component chooser, it's set for "in an application based on the contents of the URL", and if set for "in the following browser" (then konqueror, which displays as "kfmclient"), opening a link gives my very twitchy (totally not normal) feedback (the bouncy thing), and it only opens up after I set it back to "in an application..." and hit apply (weird... )

As for amarok, here's a quick screenie: http://omploader.org/vYmxo
Basically, I just want to completely reset the config for that - I tried clearing out everything under amarok in .kde, to no avail (had to reset most of the other stuff, tho.)

Any ideas?

1) I'm sorry, I meant component chooser, sorry for being a little ambiguous there. It sounds like kfmclient isn't loading anything, though. I'm not in front of a linux computer right now so I can't check, but can you type-in the name of a program (like, can you type in 'konqueror' or is it a drop down menu) Either way, try typing 'kfmclient' in a console and let me know if it gives any output.

2) Wow. I have to say I'm impressed. I'm sure not unfixable, though. Do you have ANY idea what you were doing prior to this happening or has it always been? I'm afraid the only 2 things I can think of right now would be to a) Try turning off ALL of the columns and then turning them on one at a time and seeing if you can resize them that way and/or b) e-mailing the amarok guys. :-/

you could try moving .kde elsewhere and start kde again.
looks like stuck in some crash of konqueror
revdep-rebuild is also helpful
