As of KDE 2.0, konqueror sets navigator.appName to "Netscape" or "Microsoft" 
Internet Explorer" if you apply a Netscape / IE userAgent String (for 
implementation details see kdelibs/khtml/ecma/kjs_navigator.cpp).
That applies all other navigator "indentifications". 

In KDE 2.1, even the plattform is set to either Win32 or X11 depending on the 
userAgent string.

If you have a situation where this will not work, please send me a minimal 
testcase. The example above _should_ work with userAgent set to "Netscape" 
(no time to test it though)
