I don't know if this is performance is universal but in my experience Konqueror will crash about 1 times per hour of continual usage. Especially when renaming files.

This happens on both my machines using Slackware 12.2 and was a problem on previous versions of Slackware.

Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me? I though KDE 3.5 was supposed to be rock solid stable?

Cheers.

I had that problem, and others, with 12.1. I just use PCManFM or Dolphin. Konq always had an issue with updating the display after file/folder modifications as well.

I can open 10+ tabs in PCManFM without issue as long as I choose Location view and not directory tree mode for the left pannel.

if u use the list view in konqureror this problem doesn't occur.
try that and see. worked for me

I'm using Xfce 4.6 on this DELL, but I've had some KDE 3.5 crashes on my Asus. IMO, 3.5 isn't all that perfect...I've always had 'some' minor crashes with it in Slack and other Distros...my best KDE experience was 4.2.1 in Kubuntu 9.04 beta x64...but I'm sticking to Slack and using Xfce on my main machine until KDE4 gets more optimized. My worst experience has always been with Dolphin, but Konqueror I've never had any problems really. Just my 2 cents.

Rock solid for me. I use Konqueror extensively throughout the day as my file browser utility. I'm using Slackware 12.2 and KDE 3.5.10, fully patched. I have not installed KDE from scratch since the Slackware 10 days. I only have updated KDE with each release.

I configured KDE to keep one instance of Konqueror in preloaded memory. I use the recommended 'For file browsing only' option.

A reasonable test when experiencing KDE issues is to temporarily rename the $HOME/.kde directory and let KDE create another. Then test the instability issues. If the instability stops then restore the original $HOME/.kde directory and investigate all Konqueror config files.

KDE also can be peculiar about file caches and temp files. There are several locations for these KDE temp files:

$HOME/.kde/cache-$HOSTNAME (/var/tmp/kdecache-$USER)
$HOME/.kde/socket-$HOSTNAME (/tmp/ksocket-$USER)
$HOME/.kde/tmp-$HOSTNAME
$HOME/.kde/share/config/session

There could be other causes fro the crash such as a malformed bookmarks.xml file or other such things.

Same for me, Woodsman. I'm running Slackware 12.2 fully patched on 4 systems with KDE 3.5.10. No problems with Konqueror here.

To be honest it never crashed for me neither on Slackware nor Debian but my usage is not very extensive. One thing that bothered me was that it seemed to be unable to use a proxy. Dunno why.

Works like a dream for me also. 12.2 / 3.5.1
