Silly suggestions. Possibly ones to try in VMs with test installs of Ubuntu.

[1] If you really like KDE apps, try Kubuntu.

[2] Failing that, or instead, try installing the whole kubuntu-desktop
package, starting a KDE session & seeing if it works in there.

I'm wondering if this stuff is happening because important parts of
the KDE environment are missing, or because `gksu` -- which is after
all a GNOME-family tool -- is not properly doing something KDE apps
need. And Konqueror is a huge part of KDE -- it's almost the bulk of
the desktop.
