Konqueror No longer displays Media as Opening Display

I have installed OpenSuSe 10.3 on several of my computers.

There is one annoying difference that I cannot seem to get rid of.

In 10.2 and earlier, the default opening display when I opened Konqueror was
the /media location. I could see all the various media, hard drives, thumb
drives, CD rom, etc.

In 10.3, it opens to a web location at http://www.opensuse.org/. This is
really annoying because I do not use Konqueror for web browsing - I use it
to look at my drives.

Try as I can, I can find no setting in Konqueror that will restore the
previous behaviour. Sure, I can click on go, then storage media and get to
where I want to go, but this wasted motion annoys me every single time I
use Konqueror.

I can't find any setting in either the GUI Konqueror settings or in the
konquerorrc file found in ~/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc that will change
this behaviour.

Can anyone point me to what I need to change?

Thanks, Bob

Hi
By default it opens the Web Browser if you look at the shortcut.

Open Konqueror and create a new view profile under settings to media:/
and save as Media then create a shortcut to point at this rather than
the browser.

To start from the cli or shortcut would be;

kfmclient openProfile Media
