Doc, are you new to KDE? Are you on KDE 4? If you are not too attached to 
konqueror for file management, i would recommend using dolphin for the same.

I used to be a konqueror power user when in kde3. I disliked even the idea 
dolphin then. Dolphin got better in 4.0 and i made an attempt to switch. Now 
in 4.1 it is  indispensable to me. Incidentally, some of my new-to-linux 
friends prefer dolphin to konq even in kde3!

Dolphin is more focused at file management and hence does it better IMHO.

If you chose to continue to use konq, read ahead. Since you mention that you 
use kubuntu, you will need to manually edit config files and the kubuntu guys 
decided to remove this option from the menu.

First make sure that there is no session of konqueror running. To be sure, on 
a command line execute "killall konqueror" a few times until it says that no 
process was killed. Then open ~/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc and find the 
section "[MainView Settings]" without the quotes. Add it if it does not 
already exist. Add "SaveViewPropretiesLocally=true" without the quotes under 
the above mentioned section.

Now launch konqueror and adjust the view in the folder (~/). The next time you 
view the folder it will use the same view mode.

Hope that helps!
