           Summary: always adopts i686 personality when running on x86_64
                    machine
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: wstephenson kde org


Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

It seems that Konsole always runs in its "32-bit Terminal Emulator" mode on a x86_64 machine.

Testcase:
start xterm

> uname -m
x86_64

start konsole from xterm
in konsole,
 
> uname -m
i686

I've tried to debug this but can't even find where the "32-bit Terminal Emulator" menu entry comes from in order to identify how konsole takes on the i686 personality, if it's just run as "linux32 konsole" or what. The testcase suggests this is not the case.
