Description Roland Eggner 2007-03-28 16:25:40 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

From one of Konsoles "Tip of the day" I learned setting fg color of tabs by means of echo-statements from commandline .. this is great!
After some trial I use for all user sessions echo -ne "\033[\e[28;255t" providing blue tabs,
and for all root-sessions echo -ne "\033[\e[28;16711680t" providing red tabs,
just insert one of this echo-statements in field "Execute", e.g.
echo -ne "\033[\e[28;16711680t"; su -c 'mc -c'

Now I have ALL user sessions with blue tab font, and ALL root sessions with red tab font - no need to fiddle with touchpad or mouse .. Konsole is a hit !!  And KDE session management restores it perfectly!

There is only one problem left:
"Settings - Save Sessions Profile.." does NOT save PWDs of sessions, if in "Configure Konsole.." dialog in corresponding field "Execute" a list of more than 1 command was specified.  Instead in lines "Cwd?=.." Konsole writes always value $HOME.  If I manually edit it and specify desired directory, Konsole reads and uses it as expected.  Would be great, if Konsole could write actual PWDs itself.

Stripping the title... basically this part has been removed:

"if in "Configure Konsole.." dialog in corresponding field "Execute" a list of more than 1 command was specified"

@Bram Schoenmakers
How did you "jump" from PWD to password?

My bugreport concerns PWD = Path to Working Directory.
In every POSIX complying shell there is the environment variable PWD showing the current working directory, so it is a quite common abbreviation.

Please either restore the bugreport as submitted, at least keep the sense, or remove it from BTS.

No need to get up in arms.  It was is an honest mistake, easily corrected.

KDE 3 is not maintained anymore.   In KDE4, the tab text colors can't be changed yet.
