Version: (using KDE 4.4.0) OS: Linux Installed from: openSUSE RPMs I installed KDE 4.4.0 onto openSUSE 11.2, and removed the .kde4 directory from my homedir. After logging in this blank KDE system, i had to realize that konsole cannot save the profile settings (colors, fonts, scrollback lines, etc.), moreover, it has no profiles defined. I was unable to save the settings even after creating a profile manually.
Can't reproduce it with KDE-4.7.0 Feel free to reopen if this still happens in recent version.
