Actually, all kde2 programs which crash will dump core as kdeinit.core.
This is because of the program invocation mechanism in kde2. Someone
figured out that loading 20 shared libs is slower than taking an already
existing process (kdeinit), forking it and loading "main" as a shared lib.

So konqueror really is a shared library, that gets loaded by kdeinit. I'm
not sure if this was the right thing to do - but bug reports will tell :)
