           Summary: When running 'konsole /path/to/script.sh', and script.sh
                    doesn't exist, konsole complains about pseudo teletype
           Product: konsole
           Version: 1.6.2
          Platform: Slackware Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: hanswchen gmail com


Version:           1.6.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages
OS:                Linux

Run 'konsole -e /no/script.sh' in a terminal. I get the error message:
"A Fatal Error Has Occurred

Konsole is unable to open a PTY (pseudo teletype). It is likely that this is due to an incorrect configuration of the PTY devices. Konsole needs to have read/write access to the PTY devices."

And the terminal output:

"konsole: WARNING: Unable to open a pseudo teletype!
Uh oh.. can't get terminal attributes.."

I think this error message is very confusing. The only problem is that the script doesn't exist! If I run Eterm instead of Konsole, I get this error message:

"Eterm:  Error:  execvp() failed, cannot execute "/no/script.sh": No such file or directory"

Much clearer. Much more correct. Much better.
