This is what I am talking about. Dolphin will browse through
directories but as soon as I click to open a text file, it gives a
error. I have discussed this on the kde list and it is a known
problem. One even said the code was written to prevent that but others
say it is just not fixed yet. So, I still use Konqueror just like I did
in KDE 3.

I have used tkdvd to burn a DVD. It ain't pretty but it worked. ;-)

I understand the second hand but it still leaves the users out in the
cold. I'm hoping the release of KDE 5 will be handled better but I'm
not holding my breath.
