That's easy ;)
konsole --help | grep login
but IMHO the wrong way. Everything that's inherited to child process should
be in .bash_profile (or .profile). At least as long as you use kdm
ln -s .bash_profile ~/.xprofile
and login again, there's no need to use --ls.
FMI about this search for the string xprofile in the list archive of
kde-devel (or was it kde-core-devel?) on lists.kde.org. There was a long
thread some days ago.

a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
You discover truth everytime you use it.
