All,

  For some reason, konqueror --profile filemanagement is not saving the needed
settings to remember view mode in ~/.trinity/share/config/konquerorrc. In R14
after setting konqueror and saving view profile filemanagement I have the
following relevant entries in konquerorrc:

[MainView Settings]
BackRightClick=false
OpenMiddleClick=true

[ModeToolBarServices]
external=konq_treeview

  This results in the viewmode reverting to iconview after every change in view
like viewing man:/ ,etc.. Comparing to my other kde3 installs I find:

[MainView Settings]
BackRightClick=false
OpenMiddleClick=true
ToggableViewsShown=konq_sidebartng
ViewMode=konq_treeview

[ModeToolBarServices]
external=gvdirpart
konq_iconview=konq_iconview
konq_listview=konq_treeview

  Which shows explicitly the konq_treeview mode save for the default "ViewMode"
and for "konq_listview". Without the default "ViewMode" and without the
"konq_listview" definition, konqueror reverts to iconview each time viewmode
changes.

  Please check and confirm whether have "ViewMode" or "konq_listview" or
"konq_iconview" entries in your konquerorrc.

  I have no clue what change would prevent konqueror from saving these settings
in konquerorrc, but something has.

  Additionally, the checkboxes that indicate which viewmode is selected seem to
be missing or covered by icons in the 'View'->'ViewMode' menu. Can anyone
confirm that as well? I have Treemode selected, but it is almost impossible to tell:
