Go, say to http://www.hotmail.com/ and click on new user.  Or go to
http://www.granroth.org/ and see how the behaviour changes depending
on the User-Agent string.  There are many sites like this.  I can't
compile a full list right now, sorry.

Does it really hurt this much to change the default to conform with
the rest of the market?  Granted, Konqueror is not Mozilla or IE, but
isn't it trying to compete in the same area?
