You mean it's not in the "images" folder of your k-menu?  That doesn't 
really matter.  I don't think you can just type "konqueror" in the 
blank though (does that make a loop or no?)

You need to enable the "embedded viewer".  There's another tab on the 
file-associations dialog.  This is what you get if you click on the 
image.  Middle-click may still send it to the external program which 
appears first in the list (like gimp.)  I think the behavior may have 
changed in some subtle way between versions.  I've had the same sort of 
confusion.
