I have installed FC3 on the following system

HP Pavillion t650uk
AMD64 3200
512ram
2 80gig hds - XP on one FC3 on other
ATI 9200
DVD writer, DVD rom
Broadband and home network through Belkin modem router (wireless router
- but this machine connected to it by cable)

Gnome works fine - desktop fine, network browsing fine, internet
browsing fine. KDE, however, is not well.

1. When is KDE started an 'autorun' icon bounces up and down for about a
minute. What is this for and how do I get rid of it?

2. Desktop is empty apart from Wastebin. No 'Computer' icon, no 'Home'
icon. How do I get my 'Computer' icon (with the same devices listed as
in Gnome) and 'Home' icon - onto the KDE desktop (without upsetting Gnome)?

3. When Home is opened from the Start menue - Konquerer opens with a
split panel - folder contents on right - tree on left. The tree includes
devices - but the list is a mess. It includes:

Hard Disc [/]
Hard Disc (hda2) [/mnt/XP]
Hard Disc (hdb1) [/mnt/Partition]
Hard Disc (hdb2) [/]
Hard Disc (hdb5) [/home]
Hard Disc [/home]

Surely / and /home should not be mounted twice. The only changes I have
made to fstab - are the addition of /mnt entries for my XP drive and
vfat Partition (both of which work fine). How do I tidy this up (without
upsetting Gnome settings)?

4. The really annoying bit - the LAN browser just won't work despite the
fact that LAN browsing works fine in Gnome - through the 'Network' icon
which appears in 'Computer'. When I try to browse the network in KDE
(using this 'LAN browser' entry in the Konquerer tree - because there
doesn't seem to be any other way) I get a message saying 'The Lisa demon
does not appear to be running'. So .. I go to 'Services' and start Lisa.
I then get

Internal error in server
Received unexpected data from localhost

After a wait the LAN browser will open - but what it shows is truly
wierd. I get a huge list of folders with what appear to be IP addresses
next to them - all of the form 127.0.0.x.  Inside each of these folders
is a folder called 'FISH'! No sign of my Windows network.

The 'Network' button, on the far left hand side of Konquerer, lists only
KDE FTP archives and websites - no home network.

How do I stop this strange (and slightly scary) behaviour and get
browsing of my home network running in KDE?

Any help would be much appreciated.
