Thnx 4 responding, Marcio. Here's what I did:
First I uninstalled acrobat to test things (it took nearly half a minute to 
shut down whenever it tried to open a desktop file). 

Next I did as you suggested:
"Settings" -> "Configure Konqueror" -> "File Associations"
->application-> x-desktop-> Application Preference Order [acrobat was no 
mentioned there]-> add-> kfmclient.

Then I logged out and in again and clicking on a desktop icon gives:

KDEinit cannot find acroread!

Is there another way to configure kdeinit?

Best wishes
Idris
