Description gus 2021-08-15 00:21:07 UTC 
SUMMARY
Konsole seems to start the shell with many (sometimes hundreds) file descriptors still open, instead of just 0, 1 and 2. I presume konsole should flag all of its file descriptors with O_CLOSEXEC so that they are not inherited by the shell, but doesn't seem to do so.

To be fair, other terminals (but not Gnome terminal) display the same behavior. So the problem of not closing these file descriptors may be upstream from Konsole.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open konsole
2. ls -l /dev/$$/fd

OBSERVED RESULT

```

```

EXPECTED RESULT
Only file descriptors 0, 1 and 2, pointing to the console, should be present. For example, something like:

```
gusqt@gus-laptop ~ 2 0 > ls -l /proc/$$/fd
total 0
lrwx------ 1 gusqt gusqt 64 Aug 14 20:12 0 -> /dev/pts/5
lrwx------ 1 gusqt gusqt 64 Aug 14 20:12 1 -> /dev/pts/5
lrwx------ 1 gusqt gusqt 64 Aug 14 20:12 2 -> /dev/pts/5
```
