It works for me. Whatever desktop I start konsole on, the konsole window starts on that desktop. Tried: panel icon, run and menu item. bug 83607 says this should be fixed in 3.3 have you tried a more recent version?

Perhaps there is something in my .kde/share directory that might be influencing the behavior? Can you suggest what I might try to change/delete? Thanks, murray So if you are on desktop #3 and you start konsole, the konsole window always appears on desktop #1? Are you using --profile= somehow? Start konsole from another konsole terminal on desktop other than 1 and see if any output is printed. There must be something missing... I wonder if there is a KDE/desktop configuration that does this...

That is, assume that I launch a konsole and move it to desktop 5. If I then go to desktop 1 and, from a preexisting konsole window on desktop 1, invoke konsole, it will launch onto desktop 5. The only message is that below: spud:/games>konsole kio (KSycoca): Trying to open ksycoca from /var/tmp/kdecache-smigel/ksycoca Thanks, murray Yikes. I would suggest trying with a fresh $KDEHOME and see if that fixes it. Example: If using bash, put this in .bashrc export KDEHOME=~/.kdehome-test restart KDE and everything should be the 'default'. Test out your problem. It should be 'fixed'. Comment out the above export line; restart. mv $KDEHOME/share/config/session/konsole* ~/ mv $KDEHOME/share/config/konsolerc ~/ exit all konsole before logging out; log back in and test your problem. Good luck!

FYI I have attached it. Thanks for your help, murray smigel Created an attachment (id=8995) kwinrulesrc No problem; that comes from Control Center->Desktop->Window-Specific?

Very distracting! I made some window manager changes to try to stop this from happening and must have done something that caused this problem. murray smigel Hi, FYI I had a very similar problem with Konsole with KDE 3.4.2 on SUSE Pro 10.0 The above gave me enough info to solve the problem and I thought I would add my experience for the next person who like me stumbles here via Google. I like to keep multiple Konsoles running and I've set them up so Konsoles running in different desktops have different Bash command line history files, and the like. I leave them running when I log off, and expect them to start up exactly the same as I left them when I log back on. Instead all the instances of konsole started in the same desktop, and I had to move them to the correct desktops one by one:( The fix was to go to Control Center->Desktop->Window-Specific Settings. I had a single setting for Konsole (I can't remember why, I fool around a lot). Modifying that, I selected the Geometry tab, set Desktop to "Do Not Affect", then deselected the Desktop setting entirely. That fixed it. Phil |
