My kde desktop now uses fsview as the default file viewer. How
do I get the old behavior back? I really dislike fsview.

Just a wild guess as I'm still using an older KDE, but try opening up the
KDE Control Center and check the entries under the "Components" section.
In my KDE 3.2, there are subsections for filemanager, file associations,
etc.

Hope this helps...

I saw entries for things like default text editor, web browser, email client,
but nothing for file viewer.

In file associations, there are probably 400 hundred settings and I didn't
see anything obvious.

Can you remember your last actions before /fsview/ came to be your default
filemanager? Perhaps you marked some menu option in it?

I fall else fails, you'll have to start digging into the various /*rc/ files
in your home directory, starting with /.kderc.../ :-/

I had previously had the ~amd64 kde and it entered dependency hell where there
were going to be 30 packages I had to also add ~amd64 one at a time to bring it
up to date. Instead, I removed all the ~amd64s, and reverted to the stable
version. I compiled the kde-meta, and build about 30 packages.


Something strange I noticed: it is just the 'system' icon on the desktop
that is hosed and bringing up fsview. I can still open a "system:/media" icon
and get konqueror to open it.

Ehm... The obvious thought coming to my mind at this stage is "right-click
the icon, select /Application/ and change it to read 'kfmclient openprofile
filemanagement'"... ;-)
