By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description James Gholston 2009-01-12 11:02:53 CST 
While I can open konqueror from a directory that's under the desktop, the menu item and quickstart button don't work; I've been unable to find a way to start it from konsole.  

Detail: this installation was made on 11 January 2008 and started as Ubuntustudio 8.10 from the "alternate" DVD image, and KDE 3 was installed to it around 04:00 GMT (12 January GMT).  This system previously had KDE 3 using versions of Kubuntu installed on it and retains its original /home directory.

Odd.  I am sitting at my KDE3/Intrepid machine right now, and all those methods that you described work perfectly.

Try the following command to start it manually:
/usr/kde3/bin/konqueror

"/usr/kde3/bin/konqueror" from a console works.

I've only now noticed that the KDE menu item is for:

"kfmclient openProfile Default" 

I just manually changed the menu entry to "konqueror" (I'm not sure whether it said that previously.  I seem to remember looking at it before without seeing anything unusual, but this was nearly 2 weeks ago) and it now works, and trying it from a console without listing the path now works.  Possibly having restarted it again snapped something into place (yes, I'm reaching)?

If I were in better shape and had a handy test system I'd try to reproduce this with my Ubuntustudio DVD, but I really don't have the time as I already have more commitments than I'm able to juggle.  Sorry.

If nothing else, this is noted in case the next person who runs into this bothers to file a bug report...
