It appears that Konqueror (runing in file management mode) doesn't remember its View Mode when you close it. Try this:
1. Open Home directory 2. Go to menu View > View Mode 3. Select Detailed List View 4. Exit Konqueror 5. Open Home directory Konqueror opens in Icon View View Mode, but it should open in Detailed List View. If you have some text, picture file or something similar you can open it so that it opens in embeded mode. Then you can click the Up tollbar button and Konqueror is now in Detailed List View mode as it is supposed to be from the very begining. -- Live long and prosper!
