Sweet, that did it.  Thanks!

I can't run KDE because they don't allow two-dimensional grids of 
workspaces/desktops, so I never encountered this.  I love how disparate 
linux is from its desktops.

Yep, it works dandily.

Sweetness!

That's no reason to offend me at first glance.

I shall not find out.  I've quit until konquerer makes me hate it enough 
to hope Firefox has been upgraded.  Given how much better Safari is than 
Camino, tho, I expect that I'll stick with konquerer (which would be the 
first kde-derived app I used consistently).

Slightly mollified,
Luke
