I have just reactivated that old QNX machine again (in between it was acting
as a linux firewall testbed). Using a different SuSE7.3 machine than before 
I could not reproduce that behaviour. However, the laptop that I first 
noticed the problem on still has it. Both machines have been installed from 
the same cd set, so it's likely to be a config difference, possibly in 
konqueror or for the kio-ftp slave. The network section in the 
Kontrol-center on the working machine has a lot more section than on the 
not-working one. I can't indentify any relevant info on either, though.
Oh, well. As I'm at the beginner/intermediate level regarding KDE, I'll try
the MS-Solution : reinstall everything and hope it works.

Yes.
