Well this always worked in KDE 1.x :-)

A possibility that could be related to the problem:

Are you using independent instances of Konqueror?  You may not know what I 
am talking about so I will explain.  Even though you have several Konqueror 
windows open, they are all sub-instances of one main instance of Konqueror 
running.  I normally starts without an open window when your startup KDE.

Check the Control Center:

	KDE Components => File Manager: Minimimize Memory Usage

If you have selected either "For local browsing only" or "Always" then you 
don't have separate instances.  If you have selected: "Never" try the next 
one down and see if you still have the problem.
