Version: 1.2 (using KDE 3.0.9) Compiler: gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.19 In KDE 3.0.x I had a file ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole/mutt.desktop to launch mutt (email client) sessions. It had the line Exec=LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1 mutt -f =inbox with LC_CTYPE defined to specify the locale explicitly. However, in 3.1 RC2 konsole doesn't seem to recognize the variable assignment in the Exec= line, and skips the session, not listing it in the menu of sessions.
Konsole now checks if the entry you specify is installed on your system, that means it checks if program "LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1" is installed. :-) I think we cannot/should add handling for every possible command line, so better put this in a script which you specify to be executed.

Grumble. Couldn't it at least parse out things like <foo>=<bar> at the beginning of the command line? That shouldn't be hard.
Perhaps
