Had not heard of --silent before, but I did try it now
and got the same result as before.


Let's see:

# konqueror --silent lb.htm

Should mute that debug log noise?

Also, you want to bypass running the startup from console to open konqueror for that htm file?

You create a KDE shortcut to konqueror in your menu and set the htm file to open in a custom profile:

You may also open it to your desired profile from the command line with konqueror --profile filemanagement or konqueror --profile webbrowsing. How do you know what the profile names are? Run

$ konqueror --profiles
filemanagement
webbrowsing

 Check out "man konqueror"

Now you know which command to use to create a menu icon. Open the KDE menu editor by right-clicking on the blue K, or run kmenuedit from a command line. Click New Item. You need only three things: a name that you make up, the correct command, and a nice icon which you can find by clicking on the icon box. 

Customizing Profiles

You may also easily customize your profiles. For example, I want Konqueror the file manager to always open at the same directory. So I open it to that directory, then do "Settings --> Save View Profile File Management". Checking "Save URLs in view profile" makes sure it will always open to my chosen directory. You can customize Konqueror to your heart's content and then save it in a profile, and you can even create customized profiles under different names for all occasions. This works for both Web and file manager profiles.
