Description Gajo Petrovic 2013-11-22 14:00:17 UTC
Konsole window doesn't close when exiting terminal. If the window is closed by clicking on the X mark it will remove the window but konsole will remain as a defunct process and cannot be killed by typing "kill -9 processname".

This only happens when konsole is executed with alt+f2 (run command) or by executing a KDE shortcut. Konsole opened from another terminal (konsole or otherwise) closes normally on terminal exit.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open konsole using a KDE shortcut or execute it with alt+f2
2. Type exit or ctrl+d in the terminal and press enter
Actual Results:  
Konsole window doesn't close

Expected Results:  
It should've closed the konsole window

I'd like this closed. I fixed it by purging most of my dotfiles, .kde4 and .config/kde4 being among them. It works fine now
