Sentry Crash Report:

Description Dan 2008-01-21 16:03:51 UTC 
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.
Comment 1 Robert Knight 2008-01-21 17:01:55 UTC 
Fixed by SVN revision 764376.  "Fall back to /bin/sh if neither the profile command nor the $SHELL environment variable is set"
