Yes, I expect it did take away some package(s) which however would not have 
been in my world file in the first place and @preserved-rebuild didn't bring 
them back.  If they were important dependencies why were they taken away now?

Checking build time dependencies I do not see anything which would stop 
Konqueror working with ftp/fish protocols:

# emerge -uaDv --with-bdeps y world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

I'll compare world and USE flags between the two machines when I get a moment, 
but I expect there will be quite a few differences anyway, because they have 
been built to perform different roles.
