Ah.. okay.  That explains quite a bit since a number of DCOP interfaces 
changed between KDE2 and KDE3.  I haven't had a KDE2 system in a very 
long time so I can't test anything myself.. however, i did do some 
searches online and came up with some stuff.

Apparently a lot of the mainwindow code used to be 'hidden' or at least 
it was only instantiated on demand.  I found the following snippet of 
code that might work for you:

konq=`dcop | grep konqueror | head -1`
dcop $konq default getWindows
mw=`dcop $konq | grep mainwindow | head -1`
dcop $konq $mw openURL http://www.kde.org

Let me know if that works.
