--- Comment #1 from Frank Steinmetzger <Warp_7 at gmx.de> ---
I also did some debugging just now, because I was migrating my old Linux user
account to a new one to clean up years-old cruft. Here are my observations.

Initial condition: first Konsole start, there is no ~/.config/konsolerc and no
~/.local/share/konsole/ yet.
- there is no profile listed in Settings -> Profiles
- the context menu, however, has the item Switch to profile → Default profile

I now go to Settings and want to add a new profile, and call it “Default”.
Now Konsole complains that a profile of that name already exists, the dialog
closes nonetheless and creates a profile with the Name “New Profile” instead. I
can repeat that, each time the Profiles list grows by another item called “New
Profile”. This in itself is a bug IMHO, as the dialog should not be closed in
this situation. Now I rename one of those “New Profile” entries and it is
renamed while all the others disappear from the list.

In conclusion:
- The “Default” profile is not reachable in the configuration GUI, maybe except
via “Switch to profile” and then “Edit current profile”.
- If a profile name already exists, the name is changed to New Profile.
- And if that profile already exists, it is overwritten (or ignored?), because
no additional file appears in ~/.local/share/konsole, but an additional item is
created in the Profiles list.

I am running current Arch packages:
Konsole 20.08.2
KDE Frameworks 5.75.0
Qt 5.15.1 (built against 5.15.1)
Plasma 5.20.0
