<question><para>Can I run &konqueror; from another window

<answer><para>Just install &Qt;, tdelibs and tdebase, and from your favorite
window manager, launch &konqueror;. It should work just fine, but if it
doesn't (&tde; developers don't test that case often), report it to <ulink

<application>tdeinit</application> before running &konqueror;; it usually
helps.</para></answer>

when web browsing?</para></question> <answer>

<question><para>How do I set my <quote>home</quote> page - the page loaded
on startup?</para></question>
<answer><para>Start &konqueror; with the <guiicon>Web Browser</guiicon> icon
on the panel. Open the page you want to be loaded in any new <quote>Web
Browser</quote> window and select <guimenuitem>Save View Profile "Web
Browsing"</guimenuitem> from the <guimenu>Settings</guimenu> menu.</para>
<para>All new &konqueror; windows that are started with the <guiicon>Web
Browser</guiicon> icon on the panel, or from the <guimenu>location</guimenu>
menu, and new empty tabs, will now start at this page.</para>
<note><para>This does not change the behavior of the
<guiicon>Home</guiicon> button on the &konqueror; toolbar, which will
continue to take you to the &URI; defined in the &konqueror; configuration
module. You can reach that module from within &konqueror;, via
<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Configure
Konqueror</guimenuitem><guilabel>Behavior</guilabel></menuchoice>. By
default this is set to <userinput>~</userinput>, which is your Home folder.
You may set this to any &URI;, either local or remote, and pressing the
<guiicon>Home</guiicon> icon on the toolbar will display it.</para></note>
<para>To have &konqueror; start up with no page loaded, use
<userinput>about:blank</userinput>.</para>
