Hello Robert, I will make no warranty of this, but ... I use the Konsole virtual terminal and really enjoy it's power. I love that I can open one term, and have 100 more in the same window - how cool can it get! What I did to get the things to read my settings was: konsole %i %m -caption "%c" --ls Notice the '--ls' on the end. How I did it, was to right click on my konsole icon on the taskbar and then clicked on the Execute tab. See if that makes it mo-better for you. BTW, Konsole also supports the 'transparent konsole' option, so it will display your desktop thru the vt :) It's really the little things <grin>
