Hi,
permissions for devpts files defaults 0600, so they're default to "mesg
n" - refusing write/talk. I think it should defaults to 0660 to accept
talk by default.
And when you log in KDE session, kde will create one listening
terminal session which pops up a window when somebody talks/writes you
a message even when you have not open any xterm window... This doesn't
work with 0600 unless the user explicitely run mesg y in .bashrc or
with </dev/pts/<that_device>.

Would this be a problem?
