Thank you Hasanen!  I removed all the files in the /tmp
directory and now I can launch Konqueror just fine.

One more question if you don't mind.  Should I remove
everything from this directory once in a while?
I see there are subdirectories in the /tmp directory.
What are they for?  Are the temporary Internet files/directories?

Here is what I did and you will see the remaining directories below:
