From my shortcuts menu the shortcut to Quanta is executed by "quanta %U".
Maybe %U is the file parameter, I don't know. Reinstalling Quanta?

This has been happening again. After working in Quanta for a while,
editing files, etc. I ran the link checker plugin. After trying to fix some broken links, Quanta froze, and I had to close it via the close button. Now it won't start again. Following your suggestion, I looked in /tmp and found many .tmp files under /tmp/kde-friendly/quanta: # cd /tmp euclid: /tmp # ll -t total 924 drwx------ 3 friendly staff 300 2009-08-24 17:19 ksocket-friendly drwx------ 3 friendly staff 80 2009-08-24 17:19 kde-friendly ... /tmp # ll kde-friendly/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 friendly staff 34 2009-08-24 09:38 ksycoca -> /var/tmp/kdecache-friendly/ksycoca drwxr-xr-x 2 friendly staff 780 2009-08-24 17:19 quanta euclid: /tmp # ll kde-friendly/quanta/ total 148 -rw-r--r-- 1 friendly staff 145 2005-09-10 04:22 info.css -rw------- 1 friendly staff 673 2009-08-17 14:28 quanta5kv6tb.tmp -rw------- 1 friendly staff 468 2009-08-24 09:35 quanta6rfYkc.tmp -rw------- 1 friendly staff 656 2009-08-17 14:28 quanta7OVgyb.tmp -rw------- 1 friendly staff 673 2009-08-24 09:40 quanta9RNVoa.tmp -rw------- 1 friendly staff 931 2009-08-24 17:19 quantaa3HxRa.tmp ... # cd kde-friendly/ euclid: /tmp/kde-friendly # ll total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 friendly staff 34 2009-08-24 09:38 ksycoca -> /var/tmp/kdecache-friendly/ksycoca drwxr-xr-x 2 friendly staff 780 2009-08-24 17:19 quanta euclid: /tmp/kde-friendly # rm -rf quanta/ OK, so I removed them all, but I still have the same problem --- If I try to start Quanta from konsole or xterm, nothing happens -- no errors reported, just sits there until ^C OK, so I check whether there are any Quanta processes running (yes) and kill them: euclid: /tmp/kde-friendly # ps aux |grep quanta friendly 18170 0.0 1.6 40852 17592 ?

Michael,
This may be an even more drastic solution, and how useful it is to you would depend on a) how much you need to use quanta, and probably b) how much you *just need* to solve this mystery :-) I keep a couple of spare user accounts for such cases (and no, I haven't had a similar problem with quanta, but have with other apps). In fact setting up a spare user account only takes a few minutes and a MB or so of disk-space. Once you've done that, log out, log into your new account, and see if you can start quanta from there. If that works, at least you know the problem is something to do with your personal settings; if not, your OS must have somehow got corrupted. If it's your settings, then you have a temporary fix and a way forward. While you sort out the problem, you can run two sessions simultaneously (changing between them with Ctrl+Alt+F7 and Ctrl+Alt+F8) using the first session with your normal account for other applications, and the second session just for quanta - not ideal but not as much of a hassle as you might think. Then, you can either start poking around with your original account to see what's different to your new clean one, or just give up on it, and work to get the new account to your liking. If it's not your settings, then you probably need to bite the bullent and re-install your OS. That's a drastic step indeed, but at least you would know by then that you had pretty much exhausted other options.
