The site renders fine in my old CVS build. Except for font size differences 
between Konqueror and Mozilla, the two pages shown are absolutely identical. 
Ok, there is a small gap to the right of every image, but then again, since 
my build is quite old, it's hardly authoritative.

On the other hand, the validation site (which Konqueror can easily show by 
going to Tools | Validate Webpage | Validate HTML) says the site is not valid 
HTML 2.0. Indeed, it's NOT HTML 2.0 in any way (yes, 2.0, not 4.0). Maybe 
your friend should start by making the site valid before starting to complain 
that a browser is "crap" and "very back-level".

In my experience, except for very few very complex sites, Konqueror renders 
fine every site. And fast. And more so since the Safari merge (thanks Apple 
guys) and the speed enhancements in HEAD. And I'm talking about a build 
almost two months old. When it doesn't, in most cases, it's the webmaster's 
fault.
