Hmm... It gets tricky though, sure I could update the profiles to support tabs 
with kconf_update, but only if they had not changed the original layout of 
the profiles radically (say they made the profile webbrowsing a split pane), 
since the key names in the profiles are dynamic according to what type of 
profile is being saved.  Also, this couldn't convert custom profiles.  
Perhaps just making a new profile called webbrowsing-tabs and making it the 
default instead of webbrowsing would work better.  I could also make it so 
when a user tries to add a tab in a profile without tab support, an 
informative dialog box comes up telling them what to do.
