!!! Removing the silly dragon from [KDE]'s Logout window
-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 __
shutdownkonq.png__
on your system and overwrite it with anything you like (preferrably an image with a transparent background). The exact location varies on different systems:

On other systems, locate(1) should help you hunt down the file.
!!! Changing [KDE]'s default web browser
-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 text/html [MIME] type only changes the how [HTML] documents on your HardDrive are opened.
