The pragma-no-cache option is to ignore the 'Pragma: no-cache' header
in requests. It does nothing else and the name fits the function very
well.
The 'Cache-Control: no-cache' header is different and I have added a
different option for it (not released yet).

I don't expect that it will.
You need to find out why your browser is doing this in the first
place. Forcing a re-request of every page is a bad thing to do. Web
caches are good things since they reduce network traffic and server
loads and they also speed up web browsing and reduce the cost if you
pay per minute or per byte.
Are you sure that there is no option called "re-request every time" or
something in Konquerer?
Have you raised a bug report with Konquerer saying that this behaviour
breaks all web caching?
