Go to the Konqueror settings (in root in Thomas' case), select Configure 
Konqueror and then at the left: File Associations.
In the treeview you see, pick 'inode' and then 'directory' (you might do the 
same for 'directory-locked' as well). I think you will see some strange 
applications appear at the right. Remove those.

In the second tab, Embedding, make sure the option 'Use settings for inode 
group' is selected (or 'Show file in embedded viewer') and that items like 
Icon View, MultiColumn View, etc. are on top of the list. If not, you should 
move them there or add them to the list if they are missing.

That should solve the described problem.

Kind regards,
