Hi

I regularly alternate hdc between a ext2fs drive and a Windows drive, 
mounted as /bkup and /dos respectively.
I have a kfm window open by default when starting kde.

I closed down the last session with the current kfm directory at 
/dos/Windows, switched the Windows drive for the Linux drive and 
rebooted.  When kfm started up, it displayed an error window saying "Could 
not list directory contents file:/dos/Windows".  The same thing occurs with 
the Windows drive in place but its file system not mounted.

The error window offers no choice other than "cancel", so I clicked on 
"cancel".  kfm shut down and all desktop icons disappeared, leaving only 
the background, status bar, and toolbar.  Clicking the "X" in the top 
right-hand corner of the error window has the same effect.

"Reload" did not bring the icons back.  Trying to restart kfm didn't work 
either.

I suggest either defaulting to ~/ on error, or adding a button to the error 
window whose function might be "Enter another directory to list".

I'm using Mandrake 6.0, kernel 2.2.9 (they call it "2.2.9-27mdk") as well 
as Suse 6.2, kernel 2.2.10.
I don't know a command that shows the libc version.  The Suse manual says 
glibc, aka libc6, version 2.1.
