Plugins != applications.

If I install a Netscape plugin for Flash, it is initially active. If I install 
a Firefox extention to add a toolbar, it is initially active. If I install a 
Kate plugin to add a C++ viewer, it is initially active. If I install an 
eclipse plugin to add support for C++, it is initially active.

In fact. I can not for the life of me, think of a single application that does 
not activate it's plugins initially after they are installed.

The issue with Konqueror is not that plugins earmarked for it are initially 
activated, it is that every application under the sun add sa Konq plugin, and 
it is usually not obvious to the user they are doing this. Plugins in the 
Konq-plugins project sould be activated by default without issue IMO.
