Like the title says.

Two things that I can think of may caused this:

1) I did an emerge -u world a short time ago

2) I changed the properties of a .mpc file so that xmms would be the default app to open them via Konqueror.

At first I was just able to click ok and move around in Konqueror, now it displays nothing. I use it as a FM not a Web browser. It still seems to Web browse fine though.

Using Gentoo.

Since the 'emerge -u world' may have upgraded KDE, then you may need to restart X/KDE.

Restarting has fixed the Konqueror problem. Although I did have a problem restarting X alone and ended up having to halt.

JohnT regardless of what the xmms docs say .mpc is supported and once I emerged xmms-musepack xmms plays them well.

A prior mention of a third-party plugin would have changed my investigation into your problem. Glad you got it working.

Oops, I probably should have mentioned the 3rd party plug-in part. I will make sure to do so next time. :)
