           Summary: Terminal emulator konsole automatically starts in
                    background instead of foreground
           Product: konsole
           Version: 2.4.5
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: martin.babutzka at online.de


Version:           2.4.5 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

In opposite to all other terminal emulators I tested (gnome-terminal, xterm,
xfce4-terminal, xvt, mrxvt) konsole is the only one automatically running in
background. This should clearly be not the case and for any application
starting in foreground shells have possibilities to move a process to
background but its not working if the process is automatically launched in
background.
This mainly theoretical bug becomes problematic for example if you want to
start only a konsole-Window as custom command within NX-compression (NeatX).
NeatX is starting commands with "bash -c <command>", if the process
automatically starts in background, bash returns immediately 0 and the NX
connection is closed again. I would imagine this issue is easy to fix but also
necessary as there should be no reason why konsole differs in functionality
from all other terminal emulators. Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Start konsole from any terminal emulator and hit <Enter> in the parent terminal
emulator to proof it is started as background process.
In case of NX (NeatX) usage: Start NX session with custom command "konsole".

Actual Results:  
In case of NX (NeatX) usage: konsole opens up and immediately closes again.

Expected Results:  
In case of NX (NeatX) usage: konsole should stay opened.

konsole --version output:
Qt: 4.6.2
KDE: 4.4.5 (KDE 4.4.5)
Konsole: 2.4.5
