           Summary: konsole uses complete path to it's profiles for
                    favorits and shortcuts in konsolerc
           Product: konsole
           Version: 2.3.2
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: ach at mpe.mpg.de


Version:           2.3.2 (using KDE 4.3.1)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

This bug is also reported at:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/447079  There you can
find further  information about the system, pkgs etc.

With latest KDE 3.4.2 if one manages to save the 'Manage Profiles...' settings
(see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/447065) konsole
writes the complete path to the profiles into konsolerc. E.g.

[Favorite Profiles]
 Favorites=/home/allee/.kde/share/apps/konsole/root
shell.profile,/home/allee/.kde/share/apps/konsole/root @
where-ever.profile,/home/allee/.kde/share/apps/konsole/secure
remote.profile,/home/allee/.kde/share/apps/konsole/Shell.profile
 ...
 [Profile Shortcuts]
 Ctrl+(=/home/allee/.kde/share/apps/konsole/root @ where-ever.profile
 Ctrl+)=/home/allee/.kde/share/apps/konsole/root shell.profile
 Ctrl+*=/home/allee/.kde/share/apps/konsole/secure remote.profile

As profile are stored in apps/konsole/ that's not necessary and
counterproductive:
 Using complete path one runs in trouble when username changes,
 or one sents ones profiles to other people.

Exactly for this problem type KDE3 introduced special methods in KConfig
(AFAIR)
 to strip $HOME (and maybe(?) other well known places like appdata?)

Please strip the complete directory path or at least $HOME or $KDEDIR.
