I have the very same problem and I didn't until I updated kdelibs, kdelibs-doc and qt3 to fix a problem with updating tasks that was mentioned on this list earlier this month. It's almost like the connection between khtml and konqueror are broken, because even in the file management profile (which, as you said, works just fine otherwise), if I try to open a local html file, I get the same crash with a SIGABRT. In fact, I would think the reason Konqueror crashes when starting up in any of the webbrowsing profiles would be because it's trying to load a default html page, but since it does this even when switching into one of the profiles while viewing the contents of a directory or a pdf file (for instance) that doesn't make much sense. Maybe it's a problem with the builds for 9.0? I downloaded the source of kdebase3 (only) and am considering recompiling although I hesitate to do so for various reasons.

I've got SuSE 9.0 Pro and I just upgraded to the latest KDE 3.3 packages from the SuSE supplementary feed using YAST. I've done this loads before and everything has been fine.
Now however, konqueror has started to abort (SIGABRT) when I start it up with the web profile. With the file browsing profile it is fine and the preloaded instance also starts ok.
The part where it goes wrong is when its preloading some kparts:
konqueror: kparts/factory.cpp:79: virtual QObject* KParts::Factory::createObject(QObject*, const char*, const char*, const QStringList&): Assertion `!parent ||parent->isWidgetType()' failed.
I've tried redownloading and reinstalling kdelibs, kdebase and any other kde packages that I could find which contain kparts or konqueror stuff. I've also reinstalled QT just in case something got corrupted, but it hasn't fixed it.
The error seems to be pretty low level to me, yet I cannot find any other KDE app that is affected like this. Even Quanta and its web preview work fine and I cannot find anything at bugs.kde.org.
Has anyone else seen this? Thanks
