<answer

>Just install &Qt;, kdelibs and kdebase, and from your favourite window manager, just launch &konqueror;. It should work just fine, but if it doesn't (&kde; developers don't test that case often), report it to <ulink url="http://bugs.kde.org"

> and try running <application
>kdeinit</application
> before running &konqueror;, it usually helps.</para
