I added "konqueror" to the list of tried browsers (svn r688). The real
goal must be (of course) to integrate proper with the kde help
system. As the help is written in docbook, it shouldn't be a big deal,
the problem is just time and my lack of understanding about the kde
help system.

We can add opera as easily or we provide a config option for the help
browser.
