Amazing, what a little search can accomplish isn't it ? ;-)

This reminds me of the attitude of some of my old Teaching Assistants: When
in doubt, baffle them with bullshit ;-)

In truth, finding something in YaST can be like drinking from a firehose for
the beginner. There is a definite learning curve which you topped long ago
but the OP is still standing at the bottom looking up.

In this case, the KDE desktop/toolbar widget actually allows you to chose
from several pre-defined profiles among which is "Filemanager" after you
add it. Of course, you have to chose the appropriate profile each time you
select the widget but by looking at the structure of that menu you quickly
find the necessary command to launch a particular one and add your own icon
but that doesn't accomplish the change in file associations as the desktop
configuration path does.

if you are looking for konqueror profiles

right click on desktop and unlock widgets
right click on desktop and choose add widgets
then find utilities and from there you will
find konqueror profiles.

Welcome to the club ;-). What KDE needs more than anything is a well
organized index of how the hell you do a specific task searchable by
description. Both YaST and KDE (and probably Gnome) suffer from the same
problem as Vista did for me - it can take hours to find the subtle (and not
necessarily obvious) path to common settings. Like a girl friend, they can
do about anything for you (yes, THAT too! Just get careless with settings
and see what happens). More and more, I find myself resorting to editing
config files but that, too, has it's gotchas.

In 11.2, right click on the toolbar and select 'Add Widget' (unlock widgets
first). The Konqueror widget is in the default list. Add that to the
toolbar and you get the icon on the toolbar. Click and the profile
selection list pops up. Sound simple? It took me weeks to realize that was
there!

And amazing, what the install did: it totally smashed the system...
