[Konsole-devel] Konsole crashed, now settings are screwed

[Robert Knight]

Hi Tim,

Sorry for the hassle.  Konsole stores its settings in *.profile files
in $HOME/.kde4/share/apps/konsole (may be .kde, depending on where you
got KDE 4 from).  The default is called Shell.profile

There is a bug where the terminal will act strangely if the 'Parent'
setting points to a filename (other than 'FALLBACK/') which does not
exist.  If this is the case then delete the 'Parent' setting.  If that
doesn't work then please post the contents of your .profile files.

Regards,
Robert.
