@tcanabrava, I apologize for the delay.  Thank you for considering our
situations.  I have only three custom profiles.  They are just clones of
built-in profiles:  the Root Shell profile and the Default profile.  The
latter, I use for normal command line stuff, the former for root stuff.  The
main customization is in the Appearance:  I changed the Color scheme & font to
Black on Random Light, because that is what I like.  My custom Root Shell
profile is also called Root Shell (I know I could name it something else, but
it is my root-privileges shell), but I rename my custom Defaut profile to
"Shell" (for "normal user" shell).  These are my only customizations of these
two profiles.  The third, also a clone of the Default, is specific for ssh-ing
to a NAS of mine.  It uses the Green on Black color scheme to make the window
contents easier to see when I am ssh-ed to the NAS.

Under the old konsole behavior (and the current behavior for version 20.04.2),
once I create my normal-user Shell profile (and make it the default profile? --
which I do), a profile named Default no longer appears.  So, the only issue is
that I now have two profiles named Root Shell.  When both are visible, they are
ordered in menus randomly.  Sometimes mine is first, sometimes it is second. 
Because of this, and because I don't ever want to use the built-in Root Shell
white background, I hide it.  Now, I can see and use only my custom R.S.
profile, which is what I want to do.

The new konsole behavior adds a new complication.  Even though my custom Shell
profile was set as the default (that setting has gone away, too, but my Shell
profile still acts as the default), I now see a Default profile in menus along
with my Shell profile.  Similar to my desires above for the two Root Shell
profiles, I don't want to ever use the built-in Default profile.  So having it
and both built-in Root Shell profiles appearing in the menus (and the two Root
Shell profiles are still ordered randomly, so its a crap shoot as to which one
I get when I pick one) is an annoyance.  Being able to select which profiles to
appear in the menus removes that annoyance.

I am not going to throw myself on my sword over this.  But I would like to see
the user choices of visibility and setting the default profile returned.  And,
I can see that EB's and Marcin's issue is more than just an annoyance.  Thank
you again for all the work you do on konsole -- I really appreciate it.
