If compiling for QPE (which does not support command line options) you
should edit defaults.h and change DEFAULT_WINSTYLE to
MainWindowBase::STYLE_MAXIMIZED (you can also use STYLE_FULLSCREEN which
gets rid of the window caption and borders).

If not using QPE and not configuring with --disable-cmdoptions then you can
specify --maximized (or, again, --fullscreen) on the command line. You can
also set the default as described above.

You can build konq/e for kiosk mode although it cannot be selected at run
time.

The non-QPE status bar can be disabled by setting DEFAULT_STATUSDELAY to -1
(also in defaults.h) or by using the command line option --statushide:-1

If using the XML interface you can remove everything related to toolbars and
menus from konqe.rc - look mom, no toolbars!

You're not the first one to run into this problem - 2.11 didn't work
properly for me even when compiling natively. FYI binutils 2.13.several also
failed for ARM target. 2.12.x seem to be the best version to use on all
targets.
