Well, the point is that it's not only something that you can't blame
konqueror for, it's not something that even the best written software could
ever cope with (unless, by default, it simply claimed to be IE or Firefox). 
As long as browser pages check what you're running the only way you'll ever
get them to work is to pretend you're running something else.
