I have (I thought) konqueror configured to show me the detailed listing of
directories. It mostly works, but if I hit the "up" arrow to go to a parent
directory, it suddenly switches to icons instead of the detailed list (even
if
I was in the parent before, in detailed list view, and
then went to a child
directory, and then hit "up").
How can I stop this from happening?

What's up Doc
Your mission, should you decide to accept it...
Ok go to konqueror, settings, file associations, inode, directory.
Click on embedded and them move Detailed List View to the top.
I personally use Tree View same thing but gives you the ability to open
directories without having to click into them.
Do the above for both directory and system_directory
Hit apply, then ok, then close out all konq sessions and give it ago.
Remember that, if you save a profile with icons or another kind of it, it will
default to how you saved.
As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed,
the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.
This email will self-destuct in five seconds.
Good luck Doc.

That's a very good tip :D

Amazing!!
How did anyone ever discover that?
I have been using KDE/TDE since 2001, with konqueror as my file manager in all
that time, and this was news to me (unless I knew long ago and completely
forgot it, which is, I have to admit, unfortunately, a possibility).

All seems to work. Perfect! Made my day :-)

Yes, I sort-of-vaguely understand how profiles work. Although since all I ever
really use konqueror for is managing files, I generally don't have to mess
with them. But thank you for the reminder.

Fortunately, it failed to self-destruct, so I had time to read it a couple of
times :-) I even had time to tag it red in Thunderbird, in case I ever need to
look up how to do this.

I think it was either Ali of BigDaddy fame, or Slavek of just being famous or
both who told me.I'm just relaying the info with comedic style.
This, good people, was just a group effort.
Proof, once again, of the open collective's power.

That's indeed a buried nugget,
Strange though, I use "tree view" as well, and I do not recall ever having
to change a thing. Is this something unique for Doc's detailed view? Generally
when I set the view I want and then
Settings -> Save View Profile "File Management"
everything is saved in one of the share/config/konquerorrc (or individual
konqlistviewrc, etc..) config files.

Yes; that's what I had done, and, based on past experience, expected it to
always show the detailed view. That's why I was really puzzled when simply
pressing the Up button suddenly switched out of detailed view; I really can't
remember having that problem before. Maybe I'm special :-)

Or just very talented with the arrow-keys.... :p
I just went and tried again just to be sure. With tree view open in both the
navigation pane (left) and the file pane (right) and can place focus in either
and up-arrow, down-arrow and it just goes to the next file or directory.
Have you set any special settings related to your keyboard?? (I can't think
of what it would be other than changing the mapping so that up/down arrow is
seen as something else) I even have focus-follows-mouse which conceivably
could put focus over the menu or icon-bar, but focus always remains in one of
the panes when using konqueror.
So the game is still afoot...

That was the one that wasn't working right and led to my original posting.
