Description Olli Artemjev 2006-02-12 10:54:38 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.1DevelDevelKDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMsCompiled From Sources00SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          gcc 
OS:                Linux

The url

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=150088

has enough details. 

PS: damn, the wizard is not very user friendly. :/ No reports for old versions.. But I won't upgrade to the newest KDE for one or few apps I use  from KDE. Thus had to fool it to post the report anyway. The KDE version is that supplied w/ SuSE 10.0:

# rpm -qa | grep -i kde | grep base
kdebase3-nsplugin-3.4.2-26
kdebase3-samba-3.4.2-26
kdebase3-ksysguardd-3.4.2-26
kdebase3-extra-3.4.2-26
kdebase3-SuSE-10.0-21
kdebase3-kdm-3.4.2-26
kdebase3-3.4.2-26
kdebase3-devel-3.4.2-26
kdebase3-session-3.4.2-26
# rpm -qf `which konsole`

Konsole doesn't store parameters being run from window maker

comments
Description:  

To reproduce:

===================================
1. Run Konsole from SuSE menu w/ Window Maker. 
2. Open multiple session windows inside Konsole window. I rename them (all or
some - from time to time).
3. Use Konsole menu: Settings-> Save as Default.
4. Close Window Maker.
/* Some times I choose save session for window maker. Some times I don't. */
5. Start window maker.
6. The Konsole does not restore windows opened inside it & doesn't restore 
names, even for 1st window it opens on start.
===================================
If run from KDE Konsole saves its prefs OK.

On closing, multiple Konsole windows are open, but defaults are saved only
in one. I use Xinerama, traditional multihead. 3 monitors, 2 cards (one agp
dual 
head, one pci). I assume that correct beheviour would be saving settings
independently to the window manager it has been started from. Also I assume
that Konsole should save diffrent defaults for diffrent DISPLAY values 
(diffrent monitors in this case)

A friend of mine have same trouble in Fedora, thus, think that's the code bug.
He works on notebook PC, thus, probably, doesn't use multihead (not sure).

And also the menu entry should then look like 'save as default for display
$DISPLAY'.

KDE 3 is no longer supported.  Re open this if it is still an issue in KDE 4.
