How to reproduce the problem:

Set webkit as the default, then open konqueror and go to:
http://whatsmyuseragent.com

It show this string:
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.2; Linux) KHTML/4.2.2 (like Gecko)

But I know I'm using webkit: different font size and different
rendering...

So, at the first run webkit is identified as KHTML...

Refresh as no effect, it come again with KHTML.

Now, if I switch view mode to KHTML it show.... KHTML, but this time is for real, the page is visibly different...
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.2; Linux) KHTML/4.2.2 (like Gecko)

Now, I switch back to webkit and:
Mozilla/5.0 (Konqueror/4.2; Linux) AppleWebKit/527+ (KHTML, like Gecko, Safari/419.3)

It seems it change the user agent only after a switch, but not at the
first load of konqueror...

It is a serious bug for some one that need to test a website.

I assign this bug to konqueror, but it may be related to webkitkde
too...
