1 I couldn't find it either. What bothers me is that in a Konsole, there's
2 a Settings -> Configure Konsole -> Session -> $TERM
3 setting that looks like it should override anything X does. I would
4 expect that Konsole would be started, change the TERM environment
5 and start the indicated shell. This isn't happening.

7 I guess it's time to look in a bugs database for KDE.
