For some reason, konqueror --profile filemanagement
is not
saving the needed
settings to remember view mode in
~/.trinity/share/config/konquerorrc. In R14
after setting konqueror and saving view profile filemanagement I
have the following relevant entries in konquerorrc:
[MainView Settings]
BackRightClick=false
OpenMiddleClick=true
[ModeToolBarServices]
external=konq_treeview
This results in the viewmode reverting to iconview after every
change in view
like viewing man:/ ,etc.. Comparing to my other kde3 installs I
find:
[MainView Settings]
BackRightClick=false
OpenMiddleClick=true
ToggableViewsShown=konq_sidebartng
ViewMode=konq_treeview
[ModeToolBarServices]
external=gvdirpart
konq_iconview=konq_iconview
konq_listview=konq_treeview
Which shows explicitly the konq_treeview mode save for the
default "ViewMode"
and for "konq_listview". Without the default "ViewMode" and
without the
"konq_listview" definition, konqueror reverts to iconview each
time viewmode
changes.
Please check and confirm whether have "ViewMode" or
"konq_listview" or
"konq_iconview" entries in your konquerorrc.
I have no clue what change would prevent konqueror from saving
these settings
in konquerorrc, but something has.
Additionally, the checkboxes that indicate which viewmode is
selected seem to
be missing or covered by icons in the 'View'->'ViewMode' menu. Can
anyone
confirm that as well? I have Treemode selected, but it is almost
impossible to tell:

I always have hated icon view mode.
I suspect the problem you are experiencing is resolved by an
undocumented configuration change. I know of no place this
documented, no place this is easily remembered, no place this is
obviously configurable. Try this,
Open konqueror.
Change to Tree View or Detailed List View.
At the bottom of the file pane, "right click" on any part of the
blank white space.
From the popup menu, select Properties.
The dialog should show "Type: Folder."
At the right side of the "Type" information line, select the tiny
wrench icon.
In the subsequent "Edit File Type inode/directory" dialog, select
the Embedding tab.
In the Services Preferences Order list box, move Tree View or
Detailed List View to the top.
Save.
You also can do this in kcontrol -> File Associations -> inode ->
directory.
Now try saving your konqueror profile.
I always have hated icon view mode.
