Can you try executing the following from the command-line: kcmshell kcmkonsole Nothing happens. [david@shed BCSE-Website]$ kcmshell kcmkonsole [david@shed BCSE-Website]$ echo $? 0 Can you launch other settings dialogs this way? For example: kcmshell keyboard kcmshell mouse kcmshell clock If they run, could you post the first few lines of this file: /usr/share/applnk/.hidden/kcmkonsole.desktop (where /usr should be replaced with whatever prefix your distribution installs KDE to) Up to the part where the translated application names are. Finally, could you navigate to /usr/lib/ (again where /usr should be replaced with your distribution's KDE location) and post the output of: find | grep konsole The 3 settings dialogs above work. kcmconsole.desktop: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Icon=konsole Type=Application Exec=kcmshell kcmkonsole DocPath=kcontrol/kcmkonsole/index.html X-KDE-Library=konsole X-KDE-ParentApp=kcontrol Name=Konsole (snip) OnlyShowIn=KDE; [david@shed lib]$ cd /usr/lib ; find | grep konsole ./kde3/kcm_konsole.la ./kde3/kcm_konsole.so ./kde3/kickermenu_konsole.la ./kde3/kickermenu_konsole.so ./kde3/konsole.la ./kde3/konsole.so ./kde3/libkonsolepart.la ./kde3/libkonsolepart.so ./libkdeinit_konsole.la ./libkdeinit_konsole.so Could you put kcm_konsole.so, kcm_konsole.la and kcmkonsole.desktop in an archive and attach it to this report. The .desktop entry seems correct, the only difference from mine is the OnlyShowIn=KDE; entry. Do you know if this is reproducible by other people using the same distribution and KDE version as you?

Attached. I don't know any other KDE users to ask, I'm afraid.
Hello David, I have found another bug report detailing a very similar problem, although with a much earlier version of KDE: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56216 If you have not already done so, could you file a bug report with Fedora, since this looks like a distribution-specific problem. It might be worth attempting to reinstall Konsole, using more recent packages if they are available or with the existing ones otherwise. I don't get any entry in my .xsession-errors, so I don't believe it can be the same (4-year old) bug... Having updated to Fedora Core 6, this bug has gone away. Closing. |
