Is Konqueror necessary for the kde desktop?

You mean "If I remove Konqueror, will my system break?"?

I don't think so.. It isn't quite like trying to repeatedly remove IE from Windows, and failing.

It is however the default file/folder browser, so if you want its functionality, you'd hafta replace it with something, or use Midnight Commander or something along those lines.

Description
KDE's advanced file manager, web browser and document viewer
Konqueror is the file manager for the K Desktop Environment. It supports basic file management on local UNIX filesystems, from simple cut/copy and paste operations to advanced remote and local network file browsing.
It is also the canvas for all the latest KDE technology, from KIO slaves (which provide mechanisms for file access) to component embedding via the KParts object interface, and it is one of the most customizable applications available.
Konqueror is an Open Source web browser with HTML4.0 compliance, supporting Java applets, JavaScript, CSS1 and (partially) CSS2, as well as Netscape plugins (for example, Flash or RealVideo plugins).
It is a universal viewing application, capable of embedding read-only viewing components in itself to view documents without ever launching another application.
This package is part of KDE, and a component of the KDE base module. See the 'kde' and 'kdebase' packages for more information.
Homepage: http://konqueror.kde.org

It is nice and does many things, especially if you have several of the kio-slaves installed like kio-apt. Nothing else is quite like it.
