Description Jekyll Wu 2011-08-11 06:50:28 UTC 
Version:           2.7.999 (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

konsole ships a 'Shell' profile, which is supposed to start the default shell as its name implies.However, what it starts actually depends upon current default profile.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1). make sure 'Shell' profile is set as 'show in menu'.
2). create a new profile called 'VIM' which runs vim, and set it as default profile.
3). close all existing konsole windows, then invoke konsole again. 
4). A session running vim is started, as 'VIM' is the default profile.
5). start a new session by choosing 'Shell' profile under File -> New Tab


Actual Results:  
The new session started by 'Shell' profile runs vim.


Expected Results:  
The new session started by 'Shell' profile runs default shell.

When loading profile, do not initially set default profile as parent.

The old code will cause problem if the loaded profile does not specify
its parent explicitly. That loaded profile will have current default
profile as its parent, which means its behavior changes if another
profile is set as the default profile . A good example is the 'Shell'
profile.

The new code initially sets fallback profile as parent, which guarantees
the behavior of 'Shell' profile is stable.
