Description Gaëtan LEURENT 2004-07-12 18:12:16 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.3)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
OS:                Linux

Konsole chmod the pts device at startup so that it is not writeable by the tty group. This prevents receiving talk or wall messages.

Removing the line 138 (function void TESession::run()) from kdebase/konsole/konsole/session.cpp should be enough:
>  sh->setWriteable(false);  // We are reachable via kwrited.

It's a feature. Why don't you use kwrited when you even found the reference to it?
Comment 2 Laurent RINEAU 2004-07-12 19:16:16 UTC 
Some people would like to use Konsole under Gnome, for example.

Removing this line is certainly not a solution. But perhaps this feature can be turned into a preference. It seems that almost all needed code but the GUI exist.

kded is running when Konsole is running, even under GNOME I guess. :-)
Comment 4 Laurent RINEAU 2004-07-12 21:04:29 UTC 
Well, I am not sure. Actually no. I just tried.
