There is an option for browser in Renviron (R-2.6.0 under Kubuntu):
R_BROWSER=${R_BROWSER-'sensible-browser'}

I tried changing "sensible-browser" to "kfmclient newTab", but it does not 
perform anything different (it does not open Konqueror in a new tab).
I even tried creating .Rprofile, but I cannot replicate your outcome.

In R (restarted), typing ?somefunction will still present the help in the 
terminal...
