--- Comment #6 from Ahmad Samir <a.samirh78 at gmail.com> ---
IIRC read-only profiles, ones that are installed under /user, used to editable
in Konsole, and that was done by copying the .profile to
~/.local/share/konsole/, but that was a source of a lot of bugs.

Look at the colorscheme editor KCM, it doesn't allow editing the schemes
installed under /usr, you can however "copy" the scheme and save it under a
different name under ~/; Kate's revamped syntax highlighting config dialog, and
 Qt Creator syntax highlighting color schemes act the same way.

IMHO, we shouldn't go back to that.

Also the "Default" profile, which comes directly from the C++ code in Konsole,
should always be there as a fallback/pristine profile, you can create a new
profile based on it, but not modify it directly.

I don't know how this bug should be fixed... maybe distros should switch from
installing the profiles under /usr/share/konsole to putting them in
/etc/.skel/, then they're copied to the user's home, but that would mean that
existing users with existing home dirs won't have the "Root Shell", whatever
that profile does.
