not relevant
>Description:
Whenever I open freebsd.org using rekonq with the following user agent string: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; BSD Four; de-DE) AppleWebKit/532.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) rekonq Safari/532.4
then the website seems to switch to a mobile mode with the navigation on top - optimized for small displays.

I hacked rekonq to send a different user agent string and freebsd.org is then displayed correctly. This is using "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.0; Linux) KHTML/4.0.5 (like Gecko" as identification.

This behavior leads me to assume that it is a bug in the website triggered by the above user agent string.
>How-To-Repeat:
install rekonq 0.4.0 or previously and open freebsd.org
>Fix:
fix the website/webserver. I have a patch for rekonq to enable testing, however since it is not directly relevant I am not attaching it here.
