Thank you Alan, I just re-installed konq-plugins and then kdebase-kioslaves to see what happens. Konqueror no longer opens dolphin in a separate window, nor does it open dolphin embedded in it as I want it. Instead it opens FSView - showing colourful rectangles of sizes proportionate to the size of each file. Looking under Konqueror's menu/View/View Mode, I only have 'File Size View' available. So I must be missing something else on this box. I'm on stable versions: kde-apps/konqueror-15.12.3 kde-apps/dolphin-15.12.3-r1 Interestingly, the introductory page of Konqueror shows no images for the icons ... just empty placeholders. Also, I just noticed something weird ... menu/Help/About Konqueror shows "Version 4.14.16" instead of 15.12.3. Oh well, I am assuming KDE will get better over time. O_o -- Regards, Mick
