Note about konqueror
--------------------

When 'konqueror' is specified by the a command line option or a
configuration variable, we launch 'kfmclient' to try to open the HTML
man page on an already opened konqueror in a new tab if possible.

For consistency, we also try such a trick if 'brower.konqueror.path' is
set to something like 'A_PATH_TO/konqueror'. That means we will try to
launch 'A_PATH_TO/kfmclient' instead.

If you really want to use 'konqueror', then you can use something like
the following:

------------------------------------------------
[web]
browser = konq

[browser "konq"]
cmd = A_PATH_TO/konqueror
------------------------------------------------

Note about git config --global
