I believe that "view mode" kmozilla means that you are using gecko to render 
the webpage instead of khtml ... gecko is the rendering engine that mozilla 
and several other projects use.  I don't know how far it goes ... perhaps 
javscript is still handled by KDE libraries and that's where things are 
falling down.

I would recommend that you make sure you're using the latest version of 
konqueror (3.1.3), if you are maybe you're just out of luck.  I email my bank 
every few months to remind them that they still haven't fixed their website 
to work with my browser (luckily for me setting User-Agent is enough), I 
don't have the time to debug your Yahoo problem completely but if you or 
someone else did you could always try and approach yahoo with a fix ;-)
