default character encoding in konqueror is japanese - can't change it

When I'm surfing with Konqueror, my view->character-encoding is autodetect->japanese.
If I change this to some other value (e.g. "West European"), no matter which, it works but doesn't get remembered.
I tried to change this via:
- Settings -> save profile -> browser profile
- Settings -> configure -> fonts -> standard coding = iso8859-15
My locale is de_DE@euro, the environment variables (LANG, LC_CTYPE) are alle OK.
Also my KDE settings should be OK (in Control Center -> Regional settings).
I've no charset problems except when surfing with Konqueror.
When I move my .kde - Directory so that a new one gets created on KDE-startup, the problem disappears, so it must (in my logic) be a settings somewhere in the .kde - directory.

What may be important:
About a year ago I experimented with programs to enable chinese and japanese support (input etc.). I remember one of this programs directly changed some KDE-settings, but I don't remember neither which program it was nor which settings :-(
Sadly, this misconfiguration didn't disappear when updating KDE from 3.2 to 3.3.

I don't want to restart with a new .kde-dir, 'cos after > 1 year you have quite some personal settings stored there you don't want to lose...
Your help would make me happy ;-)
