Not likely.
'/etc/alternatives/x-window-manager' points to '/usr/bin/kwin', the KDE
windows manager, not to Konqueror.
On the other hand '/etc/alternatives/x-www-browser' points to
'/usr/bin/konqueror'.
"update-alternatives --config x-www-browser" solved the problem.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
