           Summary: Konsole freezes on startup
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: g4c9z unb ca


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.3)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 3.3.3 20040412 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.3-r6, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6) 
OS:                Linux

Sometimes, when I start Konsole, the window comes up, the background theme loads properly, the cursor appears, but my prompt doesn't appear.  Pushing keys has no effect.  The menubar at the top still works.

Note that this only happens sometimes - maybe about 25% of the time.

I also have my titlebar showing extra information by setting $PS1.  That information doesn't appear - the titlebar only says "Shell - Konsole".

This has only started recently.  It may have to do with me upgrading software (I use Gentoo and just update everything that has updates available).  My kdebase is now 3.2.3-r1 and was previously 3.2.3; I'm not exactly sure what the -r1 means but I instinctively guess the code is the same and it's the package that's different.  I also recently swiched from devfs to udev, although I have no clue why that would affect Konsole.
