OK, I see. 

I think that should work. But strangely it doesn't work as expected. No matter which emulator(xterm,urxvt,etc) I have chosen as the default emulator, it is always konsole that is started to provide a running environment. "Shift+F4" in dolphin opens the chosen emulator, as expected.


And even for that konsole case, it is invoked like "konsole -e /some/script.sh" without the "--hold" option. I think that "--hold" option is very important for the suggested use case. I don't want to the terminal window to suddenly disappear the moment the script finishes its job.
