Ah, OK, sorry. Just did some checking, above is correct. It will behave as it should if you change the default shell back and forth.

But there is one major issue. As soon as you edit your profile, even if this change has nothing to do with your shell selection, konsole will save the current default shell.

So if you do this:

1) Create user
2) Log in with user
3) Start konsole, change random setting
4) Change default shell
5) Log out & back in
6) Start konsole

You get the initial default shell, not the current one. Possible fixes:

* Checkbox that says 'keep default'
* leave said field empty
* fill it with $SHELL

As more and more non-tech-savvy people are going to use Linux, I would tend towards the checkbox. Explicit settings over implicit ones and all that.

Thanks for responding that fast, you rock. But then, I knew that, before :)
