Thanks again for insisting and your patience!

When I want to open a file, I open the home directory => Konqueror opens => I 
browse to the specific folder containg the file => click on the file to open

If the file is for example an OO-Document => OO opens and the Konqueror-Window 
remains in the background
If the file is an PDF I normally right click to open it with Acrobat Reader, 
because I do not want it opened within Konqueror. So here also, in the 
backround remains the Konqueror window

The idea is to have the possibility to simultaneously close Konqueror while 
opening a file by pressing a special key (for example c) while clicking on 
the file. You avoid in this way to separately close the Konqueror window 
afterwards.

Of course you can choose another way to open a file (kdialog --getopenurl 
filname), or perhaps use this to create a helpful script, which I am not yet 
good at. ;-) But I am sure a lot of people open files in the described 
manner...
