This does not set it globally.  There is a way to do this, but I am not 
telling, you have to figure out for yourself :)  The plugin simply adds a per 
domain setting and does not make a global change.

Please do not do that.  If you do, you have to create a corresponding .desktop 
file to describe this change.  It is purposefully made diffcult to stop 
people from willy nilly changing the default identifier string.  Infact there 
absolutely should not be that many choices right now since it completely 
defeats the purpose of using konqy as a browser...
