Yes, but users don't see it this way. They think when they browse their 
filesystem it should look and behave like a file browser and not like a web 
browser. In fact I think there is another bug(s) concerning this.

Seems like we are on the same page then.
the view profile as I was describing wasn't really for the home url. just the 
tabs/splits and the urls assigned to them. like how it currently is really.
the only thing that would really change is we add a protocol home url 
accompanied by a drop down home button to house all of them. (the button is 
an apartment, ha ha... )
for configuration change we add a spot for Web Home URL.
For the 2 protocol profiles these would serve as the location konqy will start 
with.
