I also have a bit to say on this matter. After hours of having to surf with Firefox, I found out Konqueror will work in 2 ways, if knetwork manager is enables: the FIRST option is disabling the cache, the SECOND is running Konqueror as root, which I suppose will work for other apps as well. Because of Konqueror working fine as root, and before reading this thread, I thought the problem might have been in the read/write permissions of the cache folder (home/user/.kde/cache-'hostname', which really points to /var/tmp/kdecache-'username'). The only one to have ANY kind of permission is, indeed, root. What I thought logical was to then chmod the above folder, in order to give read/write permissions to the group which Konqueror belongs to. DO NOT DO THAT. I was updating the system when I did it, and everything crashed, but I thought it was because of the update. I spent hours with only konsole access, because KDE would not load (Yes, that one simple seemingly insignificant folder will do that to you), and I thought I had a broken system because of update issues. I finally thought the problem might have been related to that folder, but not remembering the exact original permissions, I just deleted it hoping it would automatically be recreated exactly as the original. Everything now seems to be working. So...

Option 1) Shut down knetworkmanager
Option 2) Disable cache
Option 3) Run the program as root

Just workarounds. though, any news on actually solving the bug?

PS: DO NOT chmod /var/tmp/kdecache-'username'

And oh, I was thinking... What the hell is an "enterprise version" of free software, anyways :-P ...?
