Loading a profile only changes the arrangement of views, not the mode of this \
konqueror process. To get a filemanagement window, one would normally launch \
konqueror using the icon that launches "kfmclient openProfile filemanagement"... \
that's the start menu item called "Home", actually, it should probably be renamed to \
"Konqueror File Manager", to differenciate from dolphin.

I guess we also need a config option for "make konqueror the default filemanager" so 
that when opening a directory from anywhere (file dialog, desktop folder, etc.)
a konqueror window opens instead of dolphin (this is already doable in the filetypes \
editor, using inode/directory, but that's a bit too hidden, obviously).

Anyway: the idea is: there are two applications, "konqueror as webbrowser" and \
"konqueror as filemanager", we just need to let users be able to start the second one \
more easily than "konqueror --profile filemanagement" or "kfmclient openProfile \
filemanagement". Maybe simply a "konqueror filemanager" 

The idea for making this per-process and not per-window is that it will simplify the \
whole logic of "not reusing filemanager processes when opening a webbrowsing window, \
in case the web page makes konqueror crash" -- this is done in a very complicated way \
currently, we should just split them per-process by treating konq-web and kfm as two \
different apps even though they are implemented by the same app.

But this is off-topic for this bug. Setting the home page is now intuitive, for \
anything else please open a new bug (and assign it to me).
