+<question>
+<para>How can I do non-anonymous &FTP; transfers with &konqueror;?</para>
+</question>
+<answer>
+<para>Normally, if you enter a &URL; like
+<userinput>ftp://<replaceable>ftp.somehost.com</replaceable></userinput>,
+&konqueror; will attempt an anonymous login to the &FTP; server.  If you
+want to login as a particular user, enter a &URL; like
+<userinput>ftp://<replaceable>username@ftp.somehost.com</replaceable></userinput>
+instead.  &konqueror; will ask for your password and connect to the
+server.</para>

+<answer>
+
+<para>Using the &RMB;, click on the Home icon and choose
+<guimenuitem>Properties</guimenuitem>.  Under the
+<guilabel>Application</guilabel> tab you will probably find something like
+<command>kfmclient openProfile filemanagement</command>; just append

+<para>Where did the delete entry from my right-click context menu go?</para>
+</question>
+<answer>
+<para>In &kde; 3.4 the delete context menu entries that bypass the
+trashcan are no longer displayed by default. To enable them, go to 
+<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Configure
+&konqueror;</guimenuitem></menuchoice > and select
+<guilabel>Behaviour</guilabel> in the iconbar to the left. Tick the checkbox

+<question><para>How do I configure the programs that &konqueror; uses to
+open different types of files?</para></question>
+<answer>
+<para>In order to configure file associations, you should go to the
+&kcontrolcenter; and choose the item <guimenuitem>File
+Associations</guimenuitem> under the category <guimenu>KDE
+Components</guimenu>.</para>
+<para>
+Suppose the default <acronym>PDF</acronym> viewer is now &kghostview; and
+you would prefer to use <application>KPDF</application> as a viewer. You
+would simply type <userinput>pdf</userinput> in the search box at the top of
+the dialog, choose <guimenuitem>pdf</guimenuitem> in the
+<guimenu>application</guimenu> group and move
+<application>KPDF</application> up. In the <guilabel>Embedding</guilabel>
+tab you can also choose which component other applications will use to
+display files (for example, when viewing files in &konqueror; or using
+&ark;'s embedded viewer).

+message: <quote>There appears to be a configuration error. You have
+associated Konqueror with inode/directory, but it cannot handle this file
+type.</quote></para>
+</question>
+<answer>
+<para>You need to make sure that the embedding settings for inode/directory
+are correct:
+<orderedlist>
+<listitem><para>In &konqueror;, go to
+<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Configure
+Konqueror</guimenuitem></menuchoice> and then to the <guilabel>File
+Associations</guilabel> page.</para></listitem> <listitem><para>Open
+inode->directory in the tree view.</para></listitem> <listitem><para>Click on
+the
+<guilabel>Embedding</guilabel> tab. Make sure that <guilabel>Left Click
+Action</guilabel> is set to <guilabel>Show file in embedded
+viewer</guilabel>, and by default <guilabel>Icon View (konq_iconview)</guilabel>
+is at the top
+of <guilabel>Services Preference Order.</guilabel></para></listitem>

+
+<qandaentry> <question> <para>What are <option>%i</option> and
+<option>%m</option> in the Execute line?</para> </question> <answer>
+<para>They are used by all &kde; applications (since they are implemented in
+<classname>KApplication</classname> and all good &kde; programs create a
+<classname>KApplication</classname> object before they even look at the
+command line arguments).</para> <para>A standard line for a &kde;
+application looks like this: <userinput><command>foo</command>
+<option>... %i %m -caption \"%c\"</option></userinput>.  Pretty confusing,
+-but it has been designed in that way so that it can integrate legacy,
+non-&kde; applications as smoothly as possible.  &konqueror;, when executing
+the line above, will extend the command to
+<userinput><command><replaceable>foo</replaceable></command> <option>-icon
+something.png -miniicon something_mini.png -caption \"The
+Foo\"</option></userinput>.  Both the icon and the mini-icon as well as "The
+Foo" are properties defined in the <filename>.desktop</filename> file.  If
+the icons are not defined, they simply default to the executable name
+<replaceable>foo</replaceable>.</para>
+ 
+<para>This way a user can change these things in &kmenuedit; for his or her
+applications.  The <option>-caption</option> option is important, because no
+user will accept that the menu item <guimenuitem>Editor</guimenuitem> starts
+something called <guilabel>kedit-0.9pl4-build47</guilabel>.  Instead, he
+expects a window called <guilabel>Editor</guilabel>.  Furthermore these
+names are localized, <abbrev>i.e.</abbrev> an American user launches
+<guimenuitem>CD-Player</guimenuitem> and gets a window called
+<guilabel>CD-Player</guilabel> while a German user launches
+<guimenuitem>CD-Spieler</guimenuitem> and gets a window called
+<guilabel>CD-Spieler</guilabel>.</para>

+<question><para>How do I make &konqueror; start up without a menu bar?
+I can't save a view profile when the menu bar is invisible!</para>
+</question>
+
+<answer><para>The easiest way to do this is to edit &konqueror;'s
+configuration file manually. Add the following lines to
+<filename>~/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc</filename>:
+<programlisting>
+[KonqMainWindow]
+MenuBar=Disabled
+</programlisting>
+</para>
+
+<para>On restarting &konqueror;, the menubar should be hidden.</para>
