erf -- no

i'm too lazy i guess -- besides, i didn't really know it was
suse, or konqueror, or gwenview, or kde -- i was new to
linux at the time and for all i knew it was *me*

whether true or not, i feel filing bug reports with suse is
sort of like shooting at elephants with a bb gun

further, i've never been a fan of applications that try to
do all things for all people, which is how i categorize
konqueror -- this gwenview "infection" was the impetus
behind my discovering krusader, and i never looked back

now, in view of the OP's experience with
konqueror/kuickshow, added to your experience with just
plain lots of stuff, i can see good cause to suspect suse --
i would be happy to collaborate with the OP (lars?) on a
suse bug report, but don't feel i should be the driver, as
my experience was over a year ago, i've upgraded since then,
and i have nothing i can point to as an example
