I'm still confused. Home icon located where? Within Konqueror? The icon on the panel? Desktop?

When I "right-click" on the desktop Home icon, there is a Properties option in the popup menu, but there is no Application tab in the subsequent dialog. There is a URL tab, in which I can define the directory.

When I select the Home icon in the panel, there is no Properties option in the popup menu, but there is an Application tab in the subsequent dialog. There is a Work Path text box that seems to provide the same function.

Thanks.
