What exactly happens depends on how Konsole is started. If it's started via plasmashell (e.g. menu), the process tree is: kdeinit5: Running... \_ /usr/lib64/libexec/kf5/klauncher --fd=9 \_ kded5 [kdeinit5] \_ /usr/bin/ksmserver | \_ /usr/bin/kwin_x11 -session 10cf9da065000150283451700000087800055_1510626492_975085 | \_ /usr/bin/plasmashell | | \_ /usr/bin/konsole | | \_ /bin/zsh | | \_ ps faux If you register a custom shortcut to start a terminal and launch Konsole via that, you end up with: kdeinit5: Running... \_ /usr/lib64/libexec/kf5/klauncher --fd=9 \_ kded5 [kdeinit5] | \_ /usr/bin/konsole | \_ /bin/zsh | \_ ps faux \_ /usr/bin/ksmserver So it's either forked from plasmashell or kded on my system at least. The issue has also been observed before: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=860269 but sadly the fix got lost in the Debian bugtracker.
