           Summary: Add an option to allow exporting of user defined
                    variables from Konsole Session Configuration tab
           Product: konsole
           Version: 1.5.2
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: riteshsarraf users sourceforge net


Version:           1.5.2 (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Please add an option into Konsole's "Session Configuration" tab.
Presently only $TERM can be changed. But since $TERM is a very important variable for other programs to function, we can't mess with it.

The reason to have such an option is because people might be wanting to provide specially customized sessions to customers for specific applications.

Another benefit is, say I have a custom script for an application which will run through this customized Konsole Session. If I'm adding all of the script contents to .bashrc or .bash_profile, that'll get sourced by every shell. But I want it to be sourced only when my _this_ special Konsole Session is run. Right now you've provided only $TERM to be modifiable and that is not good. Changing $TERM to something non-standard breaks functionality of many other important programs.

Please feel free to mail me if there's any point I've not been able to explain.
