The problem is that it's broken in KDE 3.  I get lots of those when 
opening devices:

That's why I want Konqueror as default.

There's a misunderstanding here.  I want Konqueror back as default in 
KDE 3, not KDE 4.  In KDE 4 I want Dolphin.  In KDE 3 I want Konqueror 
as it was before.  Dolphin messed up with my KDE 3 install and made 
itself default.

Anyway, I had to click through about 30 places in KDE Control Center to 
remove Dolphin.  I hope next time I start KDE 4 it won't mess it up again :P
