you did the trick...i tried something and it worked...in "file associations->
inode-directory" i put krusader as the default application but using the
following command " '/usr/bin/krusader' --left %u --right /home/jrn23/Desktop "
and now it opens every directory i double-click on...i wouldn't have noticed it
without your help...thanks again for your help...

It's probably this:

alan@nazgul ~ $ krusader /home/alan/
krusader: Unexpected argument '/home/alan/'.
krusader: Use --help to get a list of available command line options.
alan@nazgul ~ $ krusader
alan@nazgul ~ $ krusader --help
Usage: krusader [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [options]

Krusader
Twin-Panel File Manager for KDE

Generic options:
  --help                    Show help about options
  --help-qt                 Show Qt specific options
  --help-kde                Show KDE specific options
  --help-all                Show all options
  --author                  Show author information
  -v, --version             Show version information
  --license                 Show license information
  --                        End of options

Options:
  --left <path>             Start left panel at <path>
  --right <path>            Start right panel at <path>
  --profile <panel-profile> Load this profile on startup

So it would appear that krusader doesn't start like a regular file
manager, and 'krusader %U' won't work.

Dunno why it won't launch from your terminal though, it does fine here
on mine. As a last grasp at straws, what's your output from

ldd /usr/bin/krusader
