Hi:

the notion of "profile" is quite different between KDE3 Konsole and
KDE4 konsole.

By skimming the snippet of KDE3 konsole's code, it seems that the
'--profile' option just does not expect file path. it only accepts
names listed by the '--profiles' option, that is the files under
~/.kde/share/apps/konsle/profiles/


  if (args->isSet("profile")) {
    profile = args->getOption("profile");
    QString path = locate( "data", "konsole/profiles/" + profile );
    if ( QFile::exists( path ) )
      sessionconfig=new KConfig( path, true );
    else
      profile = "";
  }


  if (args->isSet("profiles"))
  {
     QStringList profiles = KGlobal::dirs()->findAllResources("data",
"konsole/profiles/*", false, true);
     profiles.sort();
     ...
   }

Regards
Jekyll
