Try removing the button and re-creating it. This sounds like a problem from
long ago (cooker pre 9.0) when a space was lost in the command to execute, so
the command said "konsole-noxft" instead of "konsole -noxft". The symptom
was the kicker panel freezing until the konsole was closed. That was long
ago. Currently, my system says "konsole" for the command to execute, and
works great.

description:
Launching a "Konsole" (/usr/bin/konsole) from the kicker panel in kde now freezes the
kicker panel, and it's child panels, until the konsole terminal session terminates.
When
the konsole session ends, a KDE Panel error dialog box (Title = "Sorry - KDE Panel")
is
displayed with the text: "KDEInit could not launch '/usr/bin/konsole'" with only the
option
button "OK". The konsole session functions (seemingly) perfectly, and it seems that
all
other KDE actions also work normally, except those that are bound to/docked with the
kicker panel. These applications do not respond to normal input until the konsole
session exits.
In my case, I have a child panel with the knews news ticker running, and i. It
freezes,
and accepts no input while a konsole launched from the kicker panel is active.
Similarly, the xmms-kde dock application stops scrolling the current track name, and
the
"OSD" option no longer displays the new track name when the track changes, all while
xmms itself continues to play normally.
Launching Konsole from the KDE Menu -> Run Command dialog box also fails to
function properly. In this case, the Konsole never fully loads, though the
panel/applets
do not freeze. (Terminating the konsole produces the same error dialog noted above.)
Launching a Konsole from another konsole (started from KDE menu -> Terminals ->
Konsole) produces results similar to launching from the KDE Menu -> Run Command
dialog, with the addition that the following output is produced: (Konsole configured
with
"Green Tint with Transparant MC" Schema)

Reconfiguring Konsole to use the "Konsole Default" Schema yields the same results,
except that the following output is obtained from launching from another terminal:
---Begin---
[EMAIL PROTECTED] chas]$ konsole

konsole: cannot chown /dev/pts/2.
Reason: Operation not permitted

---Begin---
[EMAIL PROTECTED] chas]$ konsole

undecodable token: \001b(hex)[36l
---End---
This problem *Only* affects the system when Konsole is launched from the panel.
Launching a konsole from the KDE menu does not exhibit the same problem.
