I had it setup with settings -> load view profile -> Simple Browser... 
but it always loaded as a web browser. I found that the way konqueror 
starts up is controlled by the menu entry in /usr/share/applications/kde 
and the default installation provides a web browswer and "super user" 
launch, nether of which is what I wanted. I just modified 
konqbrowser.desktop to open with simplebrowser option instead of 
webbrowsing :-  Exec=kfmclient openProfile simplebrowser
I would find it more intuitive if I could set this withing konqueror and 
not mess with menu items.
