           Summary: Recent konsole doesn't accept an Exec= field in
                    <session>.desktop files which includes a shell variable
                    assignment
           Product: konsole
           Version: 1.2
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: rakko at charter.net


Version:           1.2 (using KDE 3.0.9)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.19

In KDE 3.0.x I had a file ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole/mutt.desktop to launch mutt (email client) sessions. It had the line
  Exec=LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1 mutt -f =inbox
with LC_CTYPE defined to specify the locale explicitly. However, in 3.1 RC2 konsole doesn't seem to recognize the variable assignment in the Exec= line, and skips the session, not listing it in the menu of sessions.
