the time.  This is the case on TDE and KDE, and on every distro I have
used, which is a lot of them."

You've hit a bug.

It wasn't TDE that didn't answer, you haven't been using it for five years.  I 
never click those things. They do seem to be useless.

 Here is an explanation for some of the Konqueror problems in TDE:

As you've probably guessed fixing this is very hard.  It would require
integrating a different browser engine (such as Webkit) into a Konqueror
plugin while retaining the functionality of the KHTML plugin.  While much
of the groundwork has been laid to allow Webkit integration no one has
stepped up to put a prototype together at this time."


So what didn't get a reply and needs pinging?  Perhaps rephrase the bit you 
think did not get a reply.
