KControl -> File Associations/inode/directory and .../system_directory
Add Konqueror to the list (or move it up if it's there).

I don't know if there's an easier way, but this is how I did it:
Kcontrol -> Default Applications -> File Associations
Select inode -> directory
Click on Konqueror and move it to the top.

Open Konqueror, click on 'Settings' > 'Configure Konqueror' > 'File Associations' >
'inode' - select directory and system_directory and in the 'Application
preference order' list move Konqueror above Dolphin.

Configure Konqi as default file manager
why dont you remove it in the first place? i always "sudo aptget remove dolphin", the moment i install the system, whether gutsy or now hardy.

Thanks, all, for the tips. Done!
Maybe when D3lphin gets tabs (already in CVS) I'll give it another shot.

Because I actually think that KDE needs a simpler file manager. Not
for myself, but for the people that I install Linux for and I see how
they get stuck. I want to be familiar with Dolphin, but not to use it
for my own work.

Really? From what I've observed, it seems to be the other way around. Konqueror resembles Windows Explorer (at least superficially), so most people can at least find their way around in it. Dolphin, OTOH, doesn't really resemble anything that Joe User is familiar with (leaving aside comparisons with Nautilus).
just another datapoint floating in the sea-

Easier, I don't know, but I would think that's the _right_ way (short of
just removing that darn d3lphin).

It's good enough for _ordinary_ people :-)
