As a user you can configure the User Agent that gets send with the "User 
Agent" option part of "Configure Konqueror"

As a developer you can connect the
	configNeeded(const QString &protocol, const QString &host);
signal provided by the io-slave config object aka SlaveConfig::self() to a 
slot in your application.

E.g. when you connect to "http://www.hotmail.com/" the configNeeded signal 
will be emitted as 'configNeeded("http", "www.hotmail.com")'. You can then 
adjust the user-agent from your slot by calling:
	SlaveConfig::self()->setConfigData("http", "www.hotmail.com", "UserAgent",
			"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98)");

And to ensure the UserAgent is indeed send:
	SlaveConfig::self()->setConfigData("http", "www.hotmail.com",
			"SendUserAgent", "true");

This overrides any setting the user may have set.

Cheers,
Waldo
