After the hours I've spent diffing files, trying to find the problem, you are 
quite right that the obvious solution is to start from a clean .kde.  I have 
a working konqueror, now, thanks.  All that's left is to see which files need 
copying back from the old .kde.  I suspect that I  could copy them en masse 
as long as I missed the konqueror files, but I won't :-)
