[Konsole-devel] Bug#37872: It is necessary to use PTY for Konsole?

[5740 at mail.ru]

Package: konsole
Version: 1.0.2 (using KDE 2.2.2 )
Severity: wishlist
Installed from:    ALT Linux
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (ALT Linux, build 2.96-ipl14mdk)
OS:                Linux (i586) release 2.4.17
OS/Compiler notes: 

I try to use kernel without Unix PTY, and Konsole doesn't started when login as non-root (gnome's console, tryed after this, directly say about PTY). Under root all is normal.

So, does it necessary to use /dev/pty for Konsole - and other KDE's applications, if such usage exists? Psevdoterminals is not feature that really needed for decktop, and even in kernel's help it says that "it is more safe does not use it".

Best regards,
George
