Well, I'm no expert (far from it) but DBUS is used to execute microb AFAIC. Any chance of trying the browser.deskop file under KDE?

Also maemo-desktop is not running so perhaps it is required?
I would really like to see some hacking done on this. It really would be cool to have microb along with Konq.

Good luck to you, wish I could help.

@Delphipgmr - I couldn't agree more 
KDE is a million times superior to the stock UI 
and since the almighty Penguinbait allowed us to launch canola and other maemo apps inside KDE I almost never use the stock interface. I am totally in awe of how well KDE runs on this little tablet
also, my 0.02 on the browser issue... I used to switch back so i could use MicroB, but I've found it's MUCH better to use the beta version of Granparidisio (FF3). It runs amazingly well in the KDE windowing system (much better than in Hildon) and is much faster than MicroB for AJAX heavy sites and general page nav. It's also got full flash (a tiny bit slow but very usable)

Maybe here. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post...er-market.html
Though that's for Maemo?. But it seems to crash every few minutes (not optimized yet). I believe it also doesn't have touch screen support yet? Not sure if it's better under KDE.

There's a .deb available from the Minefield repository, I don't know how up to date it is, but I was able to run it fine and even install a few themes
The build is blogged about here:
http://blog.mozilla.com/blassey/2007...mo-repository/
and the repository setup is as follows:
Web address: http://people.mozilla.org/~blassey
Distribution: chinook
Components: extras
Setup this repository in your applications manager (or just download it from gronmayer.com/it, it's near the bottom of the page) and then after refreshing the applications list, you should see "Minefield browser" or something to that effect. Click install (you do not need red pill or anything special) and then to run it, go int "Extras" and look for "Granparadiso Web Browser"
it takes a few seconds to load the first time, so just be patient. Also, the bundled theme seems to be missing the icons for the back/forward/refresh buttons :/ so you should head over to addons.mozilla.com and download a new theme. NASA night launch worked the best for me
Happy surfing!
