No.  But one day I did, as root, "rm -r /tmp" which deleted
the whole /tmp directory.  Not good. Could not login at all
after that. Welp...I can't figure out the freaking Konqueror problems so
I am looking into other window managers and desktops.

That is the cool thing about Linux.  You have lots of choices.
