Hi!
I've had the same problem with KDE-3.5.5 on FreeBSD-6.2.
I tried changing the Konqueror's command in KMenu to "kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing %u" - that helped, but then just launching Konqueror opened filemanagement by default.
If I set Web Browser (in Control Center -> KDE Components -> Component chooser) to /usr/local/bin/konqueror, web-pages open OK from URLs, but I believe that's just a workaround, not the expected behaviour, is it? What else could help?
