   I don't know about knode, but konqueror is pretty much unusable as a File   
   Manager under 42.3.   
   I tried: Konq -> Settings -> Configure Konqueror and then played around with   
   "Default web browser engine".  The options are Webkit and KHTML and both are   
   unusable in different ways.   
   - With "Webkit" I get a blank screen instead of the start screen under   
   previous levels.  Opening a locally stored web-page with left-click opens it   
   under another application (configurable), opening in a new tab via right-click   
   works but is incredibly    
   sensitive to what it considers to be html errors. That sensitivity is the same   
   as under 42.2 and is one of the two reasons I upgraded so quickly - See my   
   posting of 29 May.   
   - With KHTML I get the same error as Darklight.  It is then more tolerant with   
   the html it finds but goes into meltdown when asked to follow links.   
      
   The 42.1 Konqueror is the last one which worked properly for me, I might try   
   and install an rpm or three from that old distribution.  I don't have any time   
   for more testing now.
