Hi,
thanks for the hard work in kde 3.2.

I use Slackware Linux 9.1 and my default shell is ksh93 (the Korn shell) as defined in /etc/passwd. Well, I defined my own shell prompt ($PS1) in ~/.profile as recommended. The problem is that Konsole doesn't recognize this setting and it only offers to me the raw '$' instead of my shell.

The expected behavior would be for Konsole to recognize and honor the PS1 shell variable. If there is a workaround for this, I am not aware it is documented.

Thanks for all your hard effort.
Yours,
