Created attachment 52652 [details] The profiles dialog showing the two entries Version: 2.5 (using KDE 4.5.1) OS: Linux Konsole has two profiles, the default (which cannot be deleted because the button is grayed out when it is selected), and a second profile. The Delete Profile button is enabled when I click the second profile, but clicking the button does not delete it. I also have no idea where this second profile came from; as far as I know, I've never created any beyond the default. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: Click the non-default profile (the one without the red dot). Click the Delete Profile button. Actual Results: Nothing happens. Expected Results: Profile is deleted. OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.32-23-generic-pae Compiler: cc
Is that second profile named as 'Shell'? That is a internal fallback profile defined in the source code of konsole. Since deleting a fallback profile is counter-intuitive, I think the delete button should be grayed not only for default profile , but also for fallback profile.

That looks-deletable-but-can-not-be-deleted 'Shell' profile should correspond to /usr/share/apps/konsole/Shell.profile. It can't be deleted by normal users because normal users do not have enough permission. Of course, such a system profile should have been also marked as undeletable, just like the default profile. This problem should be fixed in KDE-4.8[1]. [1] - http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=konsole.git&a=commit&h=e25962af065b93cc11f4f558d45c09c0a6454d6c
