Hi Elliot, So to confirm you want Konqueror to show your home directory on start ?
Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> When Konqueror Starts : Show My Home Page Set your home page to ~ Tested as working on Kubuntu 9.x Konqueror version 4.2.2, no errors on start. Let me know if it helps :) There are perhaps some nicer and more convient ways to do what you want too, if you give us some background info.
