You probably have some certificate chain problems that Rekonq is
sensitive to. You support weak algorithms -- try:


SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:RC4:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:!LOW:!EXP:!AECDH
SSLProtocol -ALL +TLSv1 +TLSv1.1 +TLSv1.2
SSLCompression off

With RC4, you have some weakness, but without RC4, you'll lose a 
lot of older browsers. In a year or three you can probably drop
that, too.

And when you renew the cert, you should get SHA2 instead of
SHA1. 

That's all the things I can see.
