Description Stefan Majewsky 2008-06-19 09:04:48 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.80)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I'm using the 4.0.82 packages provided by openSUSE for 11.0. When I enter "konqueror" in KRunner and choose the appearing "Konqueror" entry (activated by default), nothing happens. The output of ps says that Konqueror has been launched with the command line argument "file:///home/smajewsky/application/x-webarchive".

However, when a Konqueror instance (which I have launched from a terminal) is already open, a new page in this instance appears, with the address bar reading "file:///home/smajewsky/application/x-webarchive". (I have the "Show as tab in Konqueror when called externally" option enabled.)

Don't you see two konqueror icons in krunner when this happens ? 
The second one should be called "Konqueror - Web browser"
Comment 2 Stefan Majewsky 2008-06-19 11:04:41 UTC
That is right: I see "Konqueror", "Run konqueror" (the shell command) and "Konqueror: Web Browser". The second and third ones work as expected.
Comment 3 Christophe Marin 2008-06-20 23:18:26 UTC
The issue also exists for korganizer. typing "korga" will show several korganizer (winterz sees 3, I see 2) and only one korganizer.desktop was found.

Quirky toolbar layout in Konqueror when launched from KRunner

On 4.0.83 (= Beta 2), the behavior has changed: All three buttons do now
actually fire up a Konqueror window (at least in most cases: the "Run
konqueror" button fails in about two of five attempts, without any notice).

The "Run konqueror" and "Konqueror: Web browser" buttons launch Konquerors with
the normal toolbar layout, but the "Konqueror" button opens a Konqueror with a
very quirky toolbar layout. (See attached screenshot.) I do not know whether
this bug is still related to KRunner, it seems to me that these points are
Konqueror's fault. I'll ask kfm-devel ML to take a look at this.
Comment 6 Christophe Marin 2008-06-29 01:28:28 UTC
Stefan : do you compile KDE using SVN sources ? for what I can see here, this issue was resolved by Aaron.
Comment 7 Stefan Majewsky 2008-06-29 21:45:43 UTC
Christophe: I know that this item will vanish with the next release, but the problem is that Konqueror's interface looks totally messed up when invoked with the parameter "file:///home/smajewsky/application/x-webarchive" as in this service entry. It also works for me with any other file (given as CLI argument).

Please reassign this bug to Konqueror. It is now clear to me that the KRunner part of this problem was resolved.
Comment 8 Christophe Marin 2008-06-29 22:09:21 UTC
The messed interface in konqueror was the result of the bug. 

Once your packages will include the fix, everything will be displayed as expected.
