Package: konsole
Version: 4:3.3.2-1
Severity: normal
In konsole I edit /etc/group to add my user to a group, but this isn't
picked up within konsole/kde.
Tried:
- command "groups" in konsole: doesn't show the extra group for the
user.
- log in into other terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F2): shows the extra group
correctly.
Fix/workaround:
- restart kde (not the wanted fix though...).

That's the way Linux and most Unix work. You don't get into the new
group until you login into the system AFTER being added. All sessions
opened BEFORE the user was added to /etc/group file won't notice the
change.
BTW, adding or modifying users or groups is NOT a task of konsole.
