Description Ben Munro 2008-01-18 13:21:09 UTC

Version:           2.1 (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          g++ 
OS:                Linux

From an open console, ctrl-d to quit.

If I run konsole again from the kde menu, it won't open.

The konsole icon appears on the task bar, and a grey box starts bouncing next to the mouse cursor.

After about 10 to 20 seconds of this, the konsole icon and bouncing disappear. Konsole does not open.

I can then start konsole again (from the kde menu) without any problems.

If I wait a bit longer between ctrl-d and trying to restart konsole, it opens properly.

Hello,

Can you try running Konsole from another terminal (eg. xterm) with the --nofork argument (konsole --nofork).  When you exit using Ctrl+D, does Konsole exit immediately or does it continue running for some time?

Konsole exits immediately

> Konsole exits immediately 

If you then start Konsole again from the terminal, does it come up immediately?  What happens if you repeat the process but without the --nofork argument?

Hmmm.. now I can't reproduce the original bug. It starts up everytime.
When I reported it, it always had the same behaviour.

I svn upped and rebuilt kde, and logged out and in tonight. Something must have changed.

I guess I'll change this to Resolved.
