Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.1) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc 3.3.4 OS: Linux Fresh new user account, nothing put into the home (from skel), no global konquerorrc file anywhere on the system. Start konqueror, go to a java page -> java doesn't work. Go to Konqueror Settings -> Java/JavaScript. Here I see that java is enabled. The path field simply contains 'java' which should be ok since my java (actually /usr/lib/java/jre/bin/java from java-1.5.0, but that shouldn't matter) is in the PATH. I do not change anything here, just press OK or Cancel (doesn't matter which one). Restart konqueror. Java still does not work. ~/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc doesn't mention java at all. Go back to this settings page. Change something on that page and then revert that change. E.g. insert a space after the path ("java ") and then immediately remove that space. Click on OK or Apply. A completely new section called "[Java/JavaScript Settings]" appears in ~/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc. Java works from now on, I don't even have to restart konqueror. rm ~/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc and the story starts from the beginning, so it's completely reproducible. To summarize: in the lack of Java-specific options in the configuration file, konqueror's actual behavior differs from the one shown in the settings panel. This might mislead users and make them absolutely not understand why java does not work and give them no clue how to enable it.
This bug stil exists, I just experienced it after udating to 3.4 KDE Version 3.4.0 (KDE 3.4.0, Gentoo) Application Web Browser/File Manager Operating System Linux (i686) release 2.6.11-rc2-mm1 Compiler gcc version 3.4.3-20050110 (Gentoo 3.4.3.20050110-r2, ssp-3.4.3.20050110-0, pie-8.7.7)
Got the exact same problem after I upgraded KDE to 3.5. It now works after I updated the settings and got a [Java/JavaScript Settings] section. Extremely annoying since you get fooled by the settings dialog.
I can reproduce this with konq/kde 3.5.2 It seems that the settings-dialog shows a default value when the rc-file doesn't contain the java-settings, but konqueror doesn't share that same default value?!
+ unrelated to Tools->HTML Settings, tool disabled gives the same problem (tested by benadler)
I can still reproduce this problem on trunk r955492.
I still experience this on KDE 4.3.2.
