I think I know you're problem.  There was a small addition to the profile 
syntax with tabbed browsing.  There must be something like:

View0_docContainer=true

for at least one frame or container in a profile, this way konqueror knows 
what container to add the tabs to.  For webbrowsing its simple.  Just add the 
line above to your profile.  This change is added in the profiles in CVS, but 
you are probably using your own modified profiles in 
/home/username/.kde/apps/konqueror/profiles/
Your best bet is installing the new profiles from CVS again, then modifying 
them to suit your needs.  That, or start konqueror from the command line, 
rebuild your webbrowsing profile, then save it.

Hmmm...I'll have to look into that one.  Just trying right now, I cant get it 
to work.  But I have cable internet so its hard to beat out my connection.  
I'll have a look at the code to see if i can weed this out anyway.  Problem 
is that I cannot get konqueror to compile for the life of me, I'm convinced 
its a compiler bug, so I might not be able to do any development for a while, 
until i fix it at least.

I think the reason save view profile is grayed out is because that is only an 
option after you have actually loaded a profile.  Loading konqueror from the 
command line doesn't load a profile.  To save it the first time, just go to 
configure profiles, and type in a name (or click on one of the existing ones) 
and choose save.  I'm pretty sure thats how it worked before tabs, but if I'm 
wrong, just tell me and it should be a quick fix.

Sorry about the inconvenience with profiles, but as far as I can tell there is 
really no way around this problem, other than taking a wild guess at where to 
add tabs, which would not work well at all.
