Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Running konqueror via Xvnc, konqueror won't start. Instead, it hangs with the following message:

# konqueror
Xlib:  extension "XInputExtension" missing on display ":1.0".
Failed to get list of devices

The display's xdpyinfo is appended later in this report.

konqueror doesn't display any window, but instead hangs for a very long time, possibly forever.

According to some reports on the net, this problem also occurs when running konqueror via X forwarding in ssh, when the display is on a Mac OS X display. This leads to the theory that konquerorer needs some X extension that isn't available. See the xdpyinfo output below for a list of available X extensions.

This bug is a problem in Linux Terminal Server solutions based on Xvnc. Upgrading to KDE 3.3 seems to solve the problem, but that is not an option in some cases (bug also exists on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9, and a lot of sites want to run a supported release of KDE on that platform).
