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
                                                                   ^^^^^^^^^^

Apart from a little typo, where Propreties should read Properties, this 
solution to the problem works fine.

I've tried this on Kubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04, where D.R. "Doc" Evans was having 
a problem, and the solution above works like magic.

Thanks Kishore for the fix.
