I tried to reproduce this problem but was blocked by another issue. KDevelop
kept telling me "GDB cannot use the tty* or pty* devices."

I am a little confused by the relationship between gdb, konsole and the target
executable. The basic problem is : who starts the target executable? I thought
it was konsole, but running 'ps aux|grep konsole' returned this :

konsole -caption kdevelop: Debug application console -e sh -c
tty>/tmp/debug_tty.9YX3BR;trap "" INT QUIT TSTP;exec<&-;exec>&-;while :;do
sleep 3600;done

My rough understanding is konsole is simply used to display the I/O. The target
executable is not started by konsole, but by gdb. Am I right? If that is the
truth, then of course $TERM is not set, because konsole is only responsible for
and capable of setting $TERM for executable/process started by it. Starting
kdevelop from terminal won't have this problem, because $TERM is already set
and will be inherited by child processes.

Just my 2 cents. Hope some kdevelop developer can clarify my confusion.
