!! Removing the stupid dragon from KDE's Logout window When you logout from KDE you will see a cute cartoon of a dragon in the logout window. It is called [Konqi|http://dot.kde.org/988686464/]. After your 100th logout Konqi will no longer be cute. The dragon cartoon is stored in a [PNG] file called __shutdownkonq.png__ which can be overwritten with anything you like. (Pictures with transparent backgrounds will look the best.) This file is found in the directory __/usr/X11R6/share/apps/ksmserver/pics/__ on RedHat, __/usr/share/apps/ksmserver/pics/__ on [Mandrake] and in __/opt/kde3/share/apps/ksmserver/pics/__ on SuSE. ''(I almost forgot: IsomerMadeMeDoThis.)'' ---- !! Changing KDE's default web browser By default, KDE will open web links using konquerer. There's nothing in the GUI config that will let you change this, nor is there any help in kde.org's own FAQ's or mailing lists, and a google search turns up many people asking how with very few functional replies. Usually they suggest changing the MIME associations for text/html, which only changes how KDE opens html documents when they're sitting on your desktop. So, after almost six hours of googling, asking on IRC, and generally making a pest of myself I finally found out that under debian at least it is trivially easy; just set the BROWSER environment variable to point to the browser you want. This doesn't appear to actually be documented anywehre that google knows about, so hopefully mentioning it on the WIKI will help a few people. ANOTHER way of doing this is to make/edit the file ~/.kde/share/config/kfmclientrc as follows: ;:__[[Settings]__ ;:__!ExternalBrowser=/path.to/browser/binaryfile__
