5 DavidLeaver 1 !!! Removing the silly dragon from [KDE]'s Logout window
2
3 The [KDE] logout window shows [Konqi | http://dot.kde.org/988686464/], a cartoon of a dragon that is cute about twice and then gets annoying. If you want to get rid of it, find a [PNG] file called <tt>shutdownkonq.png</tt> on your system and overwrite it with anything you like (preferrably an image with a transparent background). The exact location varies on different systems:

16 Another option may be to define a user-specific version of this file. The command “<tt>kde-config --path data</tt>” shows the sequence of directories that [KDE] components use to find their data. For instance, on [Gentoo], it lists the following directories:''''

22 Presumably this means that a file named <tt>~~/.kde/share/apps/ksmserver/pics/shutdownkonq.png</tt> will override any systemwide file with that name.

24 If that doesn’t help, [locate(1)] should help you hunt down the file.

26 !!! Changing [KDE]'s default web browser
27
28 By default, [KDE] will open links using Konqueror. There's nothing in the [GUI] configuration that will let you change this. Neither the [FAQ]s on kde.org nor the MailingList archives contain any hints. A [Google] search turns up a lot of people asking but very few functional replies. The common suggestion of changing the association for the <tt>text/html</tt> [MIME] type only changes the how [HTML] documents on your HardDisk are opened.
29
30 The general way is to have <tt>~~/.kde/share/config/kfmclientrc</tt> read as follows:''''

6 AristotlePagaltzis 32 <verbatim>
33 [Settings]
34 ExternalBrowser=/path/to/browser

37 On [Debian], however, you should simply set the <tt>BROWSER</tt> EnvironmentVariable to the path to the WebBrowser you want.

43 !!! Adding/Removing items to [KDE]'s <i>Open with</i> menu
44
45 Start the Control Center and bring up <i>KDE Components → File Accociations</i>. In here you can add/remove and edit default file associations and the open with menu. If you can't find a file association, it is probally hidden under the Applications area.

47 !!!KNetwork Manager
48 Using KNetwork Manager 0.2 (KDE 3.5.8) to configure a manual network connection will write to <tt>/etc/network/interfaces</tt>.
49 This will subsequently prevent the automatic detection of and connection to wireless networks other than the one manually configured.
50 The only way to regain this ability of detecting and connecting to wireless networks is to edit the <tt>/etc/network/interfaces</tt> file and remove all entries except the loopback entry and restart the networking daemon <tt>sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart</tt>
