I think the problem is caused from the fact that by default Ubuntu installs
Konqueror as a Snap package rather than a standard package. My guess is that
the crash is caused by the fact that the configuration dialog uses DBus to
create its pages and that the way Snap packages work interfere with this. I
don't know anything about Snap so I can't tell whether this is a hard
limitation of Snap packages or if there's a way to make it work. Unfortunately,
right now I don't have time to further investigate the issue.

My advice is to create a bug report for Ubuntu because, in my opinion, this is
a packaging bug. I noticed that another application (SystemSettings) which uses
the same mechanism as Konqueror to load its contents is installed as a normal
package rather than as a Snap package.

For the time being, you can try installing Konqueror as a regular package with
the following command (run using sudo):

apt-get install konqueror

When I tried, the configuration dialog worked correctly, but there were other
problems (such as the introduction page not being shown correctly), but I think
they can be resolved.
