I found that using konqueror as root, when clicking on a directory a new window was not raised.  I also noticed that as my user, clicking on a directory would raise dolphin.  It turns out that the konqueror app to load for type "inodes, directory" did not exist for my user. So I copied the way it was configured by the root user and now it does the right thing.  That object uses kfmclient to load konqueror.

I cannot imagine how that entry got deleted.
