Thanks Chris, and also to George Liaskos and Alex Goncharov for your help. The symlink doesn't work, but oddly it's working perfectly in Konqueror now. All I had to do was scan for plugins. It's not ideal because I'd rather do without KDE entirely (not because I don't like it, just because this machine isn't whizzy enough for it) but takes the urgency out of it a bit. Thanks again. Ben
