Q
Where does the name Konqueror come from?
A
It's a wordplay on the other browsers' names. After the Navigator and the Explorer comes the Conqueror; it's spelled with a K to show that it's part of KDE. The name change also moves away from "kfm" (the KDE file manager, Konqueror's predecessor) which represented only file management
Q
How do I tell Konqueror to forget all the cached logins and passwords?
A
When you successfully log in to a website (using the login/password dialog, not using a form), or to an FTP/SMB/SSH/... site, Konqueror caches the username and password in the kdesud daemon. This information remains alive as long as kdesud runs, but isn't saved to any file. To ask it to forget all the currently cached logins and passwords, simply run
kdesu -s
kdesu -s
Q
Why does Konqueror crash on every page with Flash? (old)
A
This could be a result of a clashing symbol in both the flash plugin and the XFree86 libGLU (OpenGL utility lib). Upon closing an embedded flash view, the wrong function is called which heavily corrupts memory and leads to either immediately or delayed crashes, lockups and worse.
The only solution that is currently known is either to install Qt without OpenGL support or to not use the Flash plugin. You can't combine both until this symbol clash is somehow solved. Unfortunately, we cannot do much about this issue, unless Macromedia is willing to help.
