Thanks Philip, I also noticed that 'konqueror' works fine, so I
changed the FB menu accordingly.  Apwal looks cool, I will give it a
spin (although I am conditioned to years of using the FB right-click
menu).

The problem remains though with most menus and submenus in KDE
applications;  e.g. right-click on a file in Konqueror, then 'Open
With' and there are no applications in the popup to select from ... I
have to type the application manually.  This is a rather significant
usability hurdle for me.

Any KDE gurus out there?
