I have booted my other Debian 6 LTS system, to try to do what you
want, with the "before and after" things, but the Rekonq on the othe
system, behave differently, and refuses to accept changes to the
Rekonq settings, instead imposing some crap "speed dial" interface,
like the crappy Opera "speed dial" interface, that sits there, trying
to load. I can not change the settings in Rekonq, on that system, to
force it to open tabs with a blank page.
So, as the system (Debain 6 LTS) is incapable of having consistemt
interfaces across different systems, I will have to wait until the
next time that I have a system crash on this system, before providing
the "before and after" stuff, providing that, when the system crashes,
it goes back to the way that it was before the web browser changed the
GUI.
Oh, if only Debian 6 had ascended from the experimental status, and
had been made stable...
