Oh, I have "udisks2" as helper.
Ok, in konqueror settings, tab "behaviour" --> "show delete entry (no
trash)". if this is checked, I get a "Delete" entry in the context
menu. This
still does not enable "<del>"-key, but for the "usual" user
it's ok.
Interestingly I cannot identify the corresponding setting
in
.trinity/share/config/konquerorrc

When is the last time you rebooted X or the entire computer?
I'd reboot the computer. The F5 thing happens after a large update (at least
in my exp). Try a reboot.
I power it off when not used and turn it on when I need it (bootime <30sec), so it'
up just some hours.
