A while back, I had to delete my ".kde" directory, and since that time, I have had a problem similar to the old "KDEInit can't..." problems from March. This time, the only application that seemed to be affected was Konsole. The problem seems to be solvable by S-linking ~/.kde/share/applnk-mdk/Terminals/konsole.desktop to /usr/share/applnk/System/konsole.desktop
My concern is that these eccentricities of KDE might sneak past un-noticed. Are there really folks diligent enough to do a fresh install of Mandrake Cooker in the Beta & RC stages and click on every icon to make sure they work properly? This one was deceptive as the Konsole worked just fine, but the Kicker, and any child panels became frozen, failing to take input until the Konsole exited. The error dialog from KDEInit didn't even show up until *after* the Konsole was terminated.
