Who else uses Konqueror?

Re: Who else uses Konqueror?

Well it doesn't happen with konqueror but I am getting this startup problem very regularly in rekonq.
In fact I would say I get the message every 4 out of 5 times I open rekonq and that is on KDE 4.7:

What is REALLY silly though: Since I upgraded to 4.7, rekonq does actually crash frequently and brings up the window telling me it has crashed and do I want to restart etc?
When that happens, rekonq then reopens WITHOUT the message saying it has crashed and opens at the normal favourites page!!

Re: Who else uses Konqueror?

The only times I've had ReKonq state that it had crashed are when I terminate it (CTRL+ALT+ESC) or when I shutdown the computer while it's still running. Although that doesn't always happen either.

Well I should mention, the problem with rekonq has been there sometime and for several KDE releases.
Now, my last posts about it were based on kubuntu natty with KDE upgraded via the backports repo to 4.7.

Well today, I upgraded that install to oneiric to play about with it a bit more and rekonq has actually behaved nicely, even though that is also 4.7.
I haven't experienced the startup problem once.

Well good!

So I just read something recently that I didn't realize, WebKit is actually a fork of the KHTML project which is why WebKit is considered open source. Apple's been "attempting" to work with the KHTML community but relations between them have been less than warm. Apple's also been keeping most of the changes they made to WebKit/KHTML secret so the KHTML team can't backport the new additions from webkit to KHTML. It's also been difficult to apply these changes to KHTML. So in reality, KHTML is WebKit!
