Hallo Kurt,

That has nothing to do with konsole at all therefore I close the your
bug report.  Please use the appropriate forum.

FWIW:  The environment kde runs in depends on the way KDE is started
(startx, kdm, gdm, ...)  and what linux distribution you are using.

FWIW: Unmodified startkde 'read' nothing it depend on the environment where you
start startkde.  Unmodified kdm read scripts in <kde_inst_dir>/share/config/kdm/
and ~/.xprofile.  But ...

... because all linux distribution have there own way it's best
to ask a distribution specific list (e.g., for Debian debian-kde at lists.debian.org)
or ask on kde-users at mail.kde.org.

has caused the attached bug report to be marked as done.

This means that you claim that the problem has been dealt with.
If this is not the case it is now your responsibility to reopen the
bug report if necessary, and/or fix the problem forthwith.

(NB: If you are a system administrator and have no idea what I'm
talking about this indicates a serious mail system misconfiguration
somewhere.  Please contact me immediately.)

Subject: no euro support (only ?s) when starting from Panel or Application Launcher but works when starting from shell.
From: khausler at gmx.de
X-KDE-Received: -217.235.124.124

Package:           konsole
Version:           1.1.3 (using KDE 3.0.3 )
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

I can not type in, or even view the € (euro) symbol in Konsole when it is started from the KDE Panel or typing in konsole in the Application launcher, except in the font selector dialog box, about the Quick brown fox, I can type in the euro.

In the main konsole screen I can only see ?s (question marks).

If however, I start konsole by the bash command line, I get a konsole that works.  I tried to compare env output from both konsoles, but they were the same, so it can be an environment issue. (I already have everything set to de_DE at euro or iso-8859-15, even though I don want everything to be in german.)

I wish euro support had nothing to do with locale, language, or env settings.  Setting locale simply to get euro support is a hack.
