	[[User:Woozle\|Woozle]] 15:01, 28 March 2006 (EST): I don't know how this happened exactly, but I have two instances of Konqueror which tell me different things about the owner of a particular file. One instance is running as root, the other as a regular user (Harena). The root instance agrees with shell ("ls -all /mnt/qemu") that the file's owner is root; the regular-user Konqueror insists that the owner is Harena – even after I close it and reopen it. No amount of refreshing seems to help. Even closing ''all'' instances of Konqueror gives the same results when I reopen one instance as Harena and one as root: the root instance says that /mnt/qemu is owned by harena, and the harena instance insists that it belongs to root.

	[[User:Woozle\|Woozle]] 20:00, 22 January 2006 (EST): If you add icons to the toolbar, they aren't saved when Konq exits. This means you really can't effectively customize Konqueror. (Same for changing the icon view to a treeview; it always reverts to icon view.)

			* When copying files, does not preserve timestamp or ownership -- all files look newly created by user doing the copying (even if this is root)
