	In Settings -> Load View Profile you will see a "Midnight Commander" option,
which will open Konqueror with the screen split vertically.
	There ought to be a command-line method for invoking this, but unfortunately
the Konqueror Handbook doesn't tell how to do it so that it provides the
split screen; e.g.

konqueror --profile "Midnight Commander" $HOME&

starts it with a single pane.  Adding additional paths to the command causes
a "Malformed URL" message.
	Does anyone know how to make this work from the command line?
