           Summary: konsole doesn't report size to TIOCGWINSZ ioctl for
                    ncurses applications
           Product: konsole
           Version: 2.2
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kdebugs at cneufeld.ca


Version:           2.2 (using 4.1.71 (KDE 4.1.71 (KDE 4.2 >= 20081023)),
compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.25

I use a lot of konsoles, sometimes running "less", sometimes "jove" or some
similar full-screen software.  After installing kde4 compiled from svn, those
programs that depend on knowing the size of the terminal in which they're
running don't display correctly.  I tracked this down to the ioctl(TIOCGWINSZ).
 When things are working correctly, it will return ws_row and ws_col set to the
size of the konsole.  When not working correctly, those two parameters are
returned as zero, and ncurses applications either use only a part of the screen
or get badly jumbled.
