What happens if you click on a *.rtf file in Konqueror?

If a Python file (like configure.py) contains the code auto = "Auto" str = "this is my %s" % auto the string str will have the value "this is my Auto". If the '%s' is still in the program call, something went wrong. (But the fix must not necessarily be the removal of the placeholder.) Günter
