From just about every colloquial mention of Konqueror I've seen, people are 
using it to refer to the web browser. I don't think that people see the file 
manager as a separate program -- just like people don't think Windows 
Explorer is a program -- but that the manager is just part of the KDE 
environment. There are a lot of KDE users that use Firefox browser, but don't 
consider using a different file management program. I suppose the one 
exception to this is MacOS's Finder -- but in that case it's the paradigm of 
KDE being part of a Linux (or BSD, etc.) system.
