If you go to KDE Components => File Manager, tab Behaviour, do you see 'Show
File Tips', 'Show previews in file tips' check boxes? If so, that should do
what you want.
WRT swapping pcman for Konqueror, right-click on the Konqueror desktop or
menu bar icon, select Configure button, to the Application tab, and change
the Command field to call the program you want. (This still might not get
all of the features you want, but it will be more consistent than renaming
the program.)

Try this; works for me with most KDE3/TDE applications.
1. Open any file manager and go to a directory, e.g., /home/USERNAME/
2. Right-click on a folder (not a file), select "open with" and
choose "other"; then, when you are given an option, choose Konqueror. (It
may be that you already have Konqueror in your list, along with Nautilus,
PCManFM, and what-not.)
3. You will see (for most applications) a box at the bottom left-hand of
the screen that says "Remember application association for this type of
file." Check the box.
Now when you right-click on a folder, you ought to see Konquerer at the top
of the list. If you just double-click on the folder, Konqueror ought to
open the folder as the default manager.
The only glitch here is that some applications (but not Konqueror) do not
obey this method (for example, KPDF), and I don't have a clue why or why
not. Also, if you have Dolphin installed, it tends to take over this spot,
regardless what you do. I used to purge Dolphin as my first step in a new
system; although again, I haven't troubled myself to find out why. (It no
longer seems to interfere with Konqueror when I am in the TDE desktop, but
I still use Dolphin when I occasionally go into the KDE4 desktop.) All I
can say is, this works for me.
Another thing to know is that if you have KDE4 installed (because you like
to have another desktop manager available), then you could have two
instances of Konqueror installed (although I believe that konqueror-trinity
takes over once installed). Also, check your Konqueror profiles, as
Konqueror can also be used as a web browser.
There used to be configuration files for konqueror (actually for
practically all KDE3 apps) here:
/home/silenus/.kde/share/config/
especially, this one:
/home/silenus/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc
When I look in the corresponding folder for Trinity, however, I find:
/opt/trinity/share/config.kcfg/konqueror.kcfg
which is an xml file, so I haven't tried to mess with it yet.
