Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: GCC 3.3.5 OS: Linux Konsole sets it's encoding appropriately when run with enviroment variables LC_ALL and LANG set to values other than the system default. These settings aren't restored properly after signing out and back in. What I did: 1. Wrote a simple shell script: -- #!/bin/sh LC_ALL=pl_PL.ISO-8859-2 LANG=$LC_ALL /usr/kde/3.4/bin/konsole -- 2. Ran it through a shortcut 3. Logged out 4. Logged in
There's no way Konsole can do that. You are setting the encoding by env variables. Try using the Settings->Encoding menu instead.
