Version: (using KDE 4.0.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc 4.1.2 OS: Linux When no login-shell has been set for a user konsole (2.0, KDE4) crashes. When launched from xterm it says: Cannot execute "" xterm and other terminal emulators default to /bin/sh in this case, but konsole doesn't.
Fixed by SVN revision 764376. "Fall back to /bin/sh if neither the profile command nor the $SHELL environment variable is set"
