Bug Description
Binary package hint: kdebase
The Wine project is trying to streamline their download page by detecting the distribution of visitors. However, Konqueror doesn't mention Ubuntu in the user agent string, so Konqueror users will get the non-streamlined download page.
Konqueror is using the useragent string
but firefox puts the distro in between the Gecko and the browser name
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009020911 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.6"
It would be nice if Konqueror did the same. Looking at my web logs, the most common place to put it is at the end:
6 Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.2; Linux) KHTML/4.2.0 (like Gecko) Fedora/
7 Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.10 (like Gecko) (Debian)"
10 Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.1; Linux) KHTML/4.1.3 (like Gecko) SUSE"
14 Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.10 (like Gecko)"
16 Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.9 (like Gecko) (Debian)"
22 Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.1; Linux) KHTML/4.1.2 (like Gecko)"
34 Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.2; Linux) KHTML/4.2.0 (like Gecko)"
Likewise, it would be really nice if Konqueror put the CPU type after the OS type.

That can be turned on in Settings->Configure Konqueror->Browser Identification, checkbox Add Operating System Name
