The operative word is 'browser' . Web browsing is only one of dozens of 
protocols that konq handles. On all those other protocols the correct meaning 
of home IS the users home; that you dont use those protocols is irrelevant.  
Just because home became a euphemism for a users home portal at a later date 
in time does not mean that the konq developers are in error.
Is it a usability issue? Definitely! With so many newbies to linux that seem 
unable to use the profile/Go menu or a Bookmark to achieve the result they 
want then perhaps the developers should add an *extra* home-page button to 
the profile. But dont say they are technically wrong.
