That is not correct; Konsole is for interactive use so -i should not be necessary. Furthermore... help:/konsole/sessions.html, point 4. clearly states: "Enter a command just as you normally would if you opened a new shell and were going to issue that command." However, that is not what is happening as the attached diff of GIT started from a Konsole commandline and as a KonsoleApplication shows. help:/konsole/menubar.html has a note which says... "See the file README.linux.console in the Konsole source package for detailed information on how the Linux® console differs from a typical UNIX® console." ...and help:/konsole/introduction.html contains... "Konsole is what is known as an X terminal emulator, often referred to as a terminal or a shell. It gives you the equivalent of an old-fashioned text screen on your desktop, but one which can easily share the screen with your graphical applications." ...yet there is nothing in README.linux.console which indicates such a significant departure from standard x-terminal behaviour, and the README simply states: "Konsole is an X terminal emulation." Clearly, it would be a bug if bash was used on an "old-fashioned text screen" and it didn't read .bashrc... so why is it OK for Konsole to not make sure bash is started in a like manner? - Bruce
