I use Iceweasel and never noticed this behavior. Maybe you should play
with extensions like NoScript to have better control on what code your
browser executes.
You don't happen to run p2p software during/before this test, that would
generate a lot of hits.

It kind'o work here, I get a working navigable map in a frame at the
left of the Konqueror window, but also a lot of garbage in the right
half of the window stating that I should zoom out to get a view.
Running kde (wheezy/sid amd64).

I am not sure you are using the right mean for what you want to achieve,
no web browser is "safe", or all are, it depends on what websites you
visit and how up to date the browser/pluggins/extensions are.
I may very well be wrong but Konqueror is kind of deprecated in the kde
environment, now dolphin is prefered for file management, and rekonq for
web browsing.

It does here, I can choose "landscape" or "portrait" in the printer
properties dialog from the Opera "print" screen.
As for being "safer", Opera is targeted by dedicated attacks from time
to time, see recently [1].

Maybe you are missing some Qt librairies ? (Wild guess)
