I'm still having problems with this... I normally use firefox, but when
starting konqueror I first get a message window with

    "Could not find mime type - application/octet-stream"

followed by

    "no mime types installed"

And then when entering the location: http://slashdot.org

    "Protocol not supported  - http"

Any idea where to look for this kind of problems?
