Are you certain that it is: "~/.bashrc" that is not being executed?  This should be run 
whenever Bash is opened in interactive mode.

  - how do I make konsole use Linux-Konsole by default?

IIUC, you think that this will fix the problem.  I don't think so.

Is it possible that it is the: "~/.bash_profile" script that isn't being executed.  This 
script is not supposed to be executed when you open a Konsole.  However, your system 
should be setup so that it (along with: "/etc/profile") is executed once when KDE is started.

KDE will use several common bitmap icon formats.  The icons can be anywhere as long as you 
put the full path in the *.desktop file for the menu entry.  Icons for GNOME should be 
automatically found if they are in: "$KDEDIR/share/pixmaps/".  If you have GNOME installed 
with a different prefix than KDE, a single link:

	$KDEDIR/share/pixmaps -> <GNOME-prefix>/share/pixmaps

should make the GNOME icons available to KDE automatically.
