# Questions and Answers

How can I browse web sites using non latin scripts?

Detailed instructions can be found at http://www.konqueror.org/i18n.html

Can I run &konqueror; from another window manager?

Just install &Qt;, kdelibs and kdebase, and from your favourite window manager, just launch &konqueror;. It should work just fine, but if it doesn't (&kde; developers don't test that case often), report it to http://bugs.kde.org and try running kdeinit before running &konqueror;, it usually helps.

Where does &konqueror; keep all its configuration data?

Generally in the `~/.kde` directory (this may be `~/.kde3` on your system, depending on how &kde; 3 was installed). Don't alter these files unless you really know what you are doing.

- The `~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/profiles` directory holds individual files containing settings for each of your profiles.

- Your bookmarks are held in `~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/bookmarks.xml`

- Cookies are held in `~/.kde/share/apps/kcookiejar/cookies`

- Your history, as used for the auto-completion feature, is in `~/.kde/share/config/konq_history`

- In the directory `~/.kde/share/config/` the files `konqiconviewrc`, `konqlistviewrc` and `konquerorrc` hold a whole lot of general configuration settings.

- The directory `~/.kde/share/cache/http/` contains the browser cache.

- The Navigation Panel uses the files and subdirectories in `~/.kde/share/apps/konqsidebartng`

Any directory specific view settings are put into `.directory` files in the individual directories.

How do I clear out the history file?

There are two histories:

- One is used for text completion in the Location Toolbar text entry box. To clear this right click on the text entry box and select Empty Contents .

- The other is the log of visited locations. Select the History page in the Navigation Panel, right click on an entry and choose Remove Entry to remove just that entry or Clear History to delete all entries.

How do I enable, disable or clear the browser cache?

If you select Cache dialogue launched by Settings Configure Konqueror you will be presented with a dialogue box that lets you disable the cache, clear it or set its size, and change the cacheing policy.

How can I change the timeout values used by &konqueror; when web browsing?

In the Control Centre Network Preferences page.

I can't find the answer to my question here.
