In the System/Konsole, in kcontrol, there is an option Do not use
Konsole as default terminal application. It should be unchecked.

Also, check and see what /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator points to.  
$$'s to donut holes it is pointing to /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm.  Use 
update-alternatives to change that.

HTH.

Re: konsole issues

2001-10-22 Thread Justin R. Miller 
Thus spake Jens Benecke ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):

 In kcontrol the 'console' application is probably set for
 'x-terminal-emulator', which is the default 'terminal emulator' for
 _all_ Debian applications. You can either change that (only for KDE)
 or change x-terminal-emulator via 'update-alternatives' which makes
 konsole available to all applications that need a terminal.

Thanks for the tip (you too David) -- using update-alternatives did the
trick.  I still can't figure out why KDE wasn't paying attention to the
setting in kcontrol though -- that is the very one I was toggling.  I'd
like to think that it would work and I wouldn't have to change the
system-wide default (though it's ok in this case).
