Dawit, yes, it's exactly what my Konq has by default.
Unfortunately, not too many people know what is "X11", but some people aware 
about "Linux" existance.
So, it was my choice to have "Linux" in UA, and I am pretty happy with that 
:-)
After some thoughts, I decided to retain kernel number and "mdk" in UA - as 
it will not hurt me, but make recent Linux kernel more visible.
plus, I am happy that run Mandrake, not other famous distro without KDE 2.2b 
packages....

yep, it would be nice to put Konq into own group.
But as I mentioned, it falls into "other" or "Netscape" groups here 
(http://www.spylog.com, http://top.list.ru)
I have tried to convinience those companies to separate Konq, but with no 
success (despite promises from list.ru to do so...)

Besides, I can tell that Opera often also counted as Netscape, so there is 
nothing new with such web stattistics :-((
