This is to inform that the terminal opened by the command 'Menubar Tools->Open Terminal' is a kconsole instance, spawned in a new window and settling $HOME as the working directory.
The terminal opened by ctrl-t is an embedded terminal that is opened in the current working directory. The latter is a very useful feature, that i would really like to see restored in the kubuntu-konqueror main menu. Usually, it can be found in the 'Window' menu, in the standard konqueror version (between the 'Settings' and the 'Help' menus). Strangely, it seems that the 'Window' menu has been deleted by the kubuntu configuration. -- konqueror should let user "Show terminal emulator" from the menu https://launchpad.net/bugs/37473 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
