My use-case of the Konsole profiles is to distinguish different delevopment
environments, e.g.

Konsole profile "VisOld" sets OSG=~/src/osg-2.4
Konsole profile "VisNew" sets OSG=~/src/osg-3.0

nothing related to the Konsole behaviour itself (like $TERM).
This approach works actually quite well - so far so good. 

But in both profiles I want e.g. extend the LD_LIBRARY_PATH with $OSG
I don't want to extend the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in all-purpose files like .bashrc,
.profile etc...
I also do not want to extend the variable manually cause this is error-prone...

Therefore the environment dialog in the Konsole profiles is definitely the best
place to extend variables.
I understand that the severity is "Wishlist" because it is not really a bug -
but on the other side is hardy acceptable that the environment dialog allows
only partially to set the environment and ignores sometimes variable
manipulations.
