There is a konqueror setting to open a link as a tab in the 
background--it works in Debian 5.0 when you click on a link in a 
konqueror tab.  But, even though the other setting says to open 
external links (which I presume means links clicked on in, for example, 
kmail) as tabs instead of new windows, doing so brings that instance of 
konqueror to the foreground.  On Mandriva2006, it left that instance of 
konqueror in the background, which is the behavior I am trying to 
achieve.

Ok, thanks anyway, my problem is getting it to work the way I prefer in 
Debian 5.0, with kde 3.5.10/3.5.9, konqueror 3.5.9, and kmail 1.9.9.
