Version: 4.2.3 (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources The stock konsole.desktop file contains this: Exec=konsole -e $SHELL -l This is too specific, and shouldn't be the case. The default konsole.desktop file should just start the default konsole profile (be it Shell or anything): Exec=konsole would be enough.
Where did you get the konsole.desktop file from? The canonical one in kdebase/apps/konsole/desktop just has Exec=konsole
You are absolutely right, and I apologize for the noise. It was the slackware package's desktop file.
No worries. Due to another bug in Konsole this will also cause a whole lot of weirdness in the settings dialog. I have sent an email to volkerdi@slackware.com, apparently there isn't a bug tracker?
