Sorry about the delay but I've been quite busy. I don't agree with CAN'T FIX.

The proper fix here is to set the env variable PWD to the path before executing
the shell.  Most shells use this as a hint to figure out where they _should_
be.  If you set PWD to /path/of/symlink bash will check to see if PWD is a
symlink to the current directory and start the shell in "/path/of/symlink".

This fix should at least be possible for profiles within konsole itself. It
should even be fixable through dolphin if the path is passed as an argument
into konsole.  I'm not sure if it's currently done like that or not, but should
be possible.
