I opened KDE Control Center, and looked at KDE Components, File 
Associations in
the off-chance I might find what was associated with The Gimp and 
figure it out
from there. I didn't figure it out, no suprise, as I couldn't find a 
way to see
all associations for The Gimp. Seems I would have had to know that
inode/directory was what relevant to my problem (which, as I hadn't a clue
until you told me what inode/directory is, I didn't).

And yes, when I checked the Gimp was first on the list to launch
inode/directory. I removed it and made the changes you recommended, and
Konqueror now works as it should.

Not quite sure what you are suggesting I do here; I couldn't find any
gimp.desktop file on my machine. If I do find this file, and locate
"inode/directory" in it, I should do ... what? Delete it?

Thanks for the quick response; this solved the problem (but I am puzzled about
how it got changed in the first place)
