Hmmm, does that mean cookies are wiped

(1) when the original window is closed, or
(2) when a Konqueror process dies, or
(3) when *all* Konqueror processes die?

Somehow I suspect you mean (2).  But sometimes users will browse with many
Konqueror windows, on different sites, in a single process, or (less
often) on a single site in multiple processes.  The connection between
Konqueror processes and the user experience is rather obscure, as it
should be: Konqueror is designed to be document-centric, not
application-centric.  In this context, it's unclear to the user what a
"session" is.  This is an issue, perhaps, for the KDE usability team to
examine?
