           Summary: Konsole sessions forget the encoding after terminal
                    reset
           Product: konsole
           Version: 1.6
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: amarok fnord hu


Version:           1.6 (using KDE 3.5.1, Debian Package 4:3.5.1-4 (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15.walrus-25

Try the following: start a new Konsole instance by

  LC_CTYPE=hu_HU.UTF-8

Verify that the encoding is correctly set by trying 
to input some accented characters from e.g. the Latin-1
charset.  (For example, you can cut and paste 
these: áéíóöúü.)

Next, set Settings > Encoding > Greek (cp1253).
Observe that the same characters as above are now 
replaced with question marks.  This is the expected
behaviour, as the Greek charset misses these 
characters.

Now run the standard 'reset' command.

According to Settings > Encoding, the encoding is 
still set to Greek, but the same test characters
are now inputtable, which indicates that we are back
to UTF-8.

Either the terminal initialization string should not 
replace the encoding, or the Encoding menu should be 
updated to reflect the change.
