I never have
seen that behavior. My guess is your
default konqueror "filemanagement"
profile was saved
inadvertently that way.
I do not even understand how they work -_-
* Open konqueror: kfmclient openProfile filemanagement.
* Select the desired default directory, usually $HOME.
* Ensure no additional tabs are open.
* Select Settings->Save View Profile "filemanagement"...
You might need to restart your Trinity session.
