Besides the point I made in a previous response, wouldn't that amount to an 
attempt to read the user's mind ? To me it also demonstrates that the idea of 
profiles was never intended to do what people are attempting to do with it. 
Namely make it look as if "Web-browsing" is a distinct functionality when in 
reality it is not. It is however a great showcase for konqueror's flexability 
by design. Not that that is always desired...
