Bug#397073: konsole: not reading ~/.bashrc



> hmm..

> What is a "session program"?

A program started via the "Session" menu,
maybe I should be calling them Konsole Applications.

> How do I set up a session program?

- start konsole
- select "Configure Konsole" from the "Settings" menu
- select the "Session" tab
- put a descriptive name in the "Name" field
- put a text mode command in the "Execute" field
- put a path to cd to in the "Directory" field
- choose an appropriate Icon, Schema, etc.
- hit the "Save Session" button

You'll end up with a .desktop file in ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole, e.g:
--- ssh to bms.desktop ---
[Desktop Entry]
Cwd=
Exec=ssh -X bms
Font=
Icon=konsole
KeyTab=
Name=ssh to bms
Schema=
Term=xterm
Type=KonsoleApplication
------
which shows up in the "Session" menu as "New ssh to bms" and starts a 
SSH login with X-forwarding on the host named "bms".

> Is it something for konsole to run _instead_ of bash? or?

hmmm, ya, sure...
