           Summary: Setting for TERM is ineffective
           Product: konsole
           Version: 1.5.1
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: kogorman pacbell net


Version:           1.5.1 (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 
OS:                Linux

Konsole has a place to set the TERM environment variable, in
Settings -> Configure Konsole -> Session -> $TERM:

However, changing this setting seems to have no effect, and
I wind up with xterm no matter what.  I have checked this
by putting an "echo $TERM" in my dotfiles for bash, at the
top of each one, and they all report xterm.

I would expect this environment setting to show up in the
shell that Konsole starts.
