I've spent a day wrestling with this problem, and I've exhausted my options.
What I want to do is mind-numbingly simple, at least with kvt and xterm: set the default foreground and background colors of a session upon startup. I want the colors to be different, depending on the session I start up. Yet, I can't seem to get it to work in konsole. No matter what I try, konsole automatically starts with the default schema stored in konsolerc, and then I have to manually change the schema to get the color I want. Here's what I tried: 1. konsole --foreground 'blue' (from command line). No dice -- konsole doesn't seem to recognize the Qt options (I tried other qt options, such as '--title', with no luck). 2. In file "blue-konsole.desktop", I added the line "Schema=Blue.schema". I put Blue.schema both in my ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole directory and in /usr/share/apps/konsole, and I tried modifying the line 'Schema' in blue-konsole.desktop to point to absolute paths. Still no luck. konsole seems to ignore the Schema line in the .desktop file. (I also tried launching it with the linux.desktop file included in /usr/share/apps/konsole, with the same results: konsole ignores the 'Schema' line). I don't know if this has anything to do with problem in attempt 1, but here's the error I get everytime I start konsole (with or without qt options): QObject::connect: Cannot connect KAction::activated() to Konsole::(null) No other errors appear. Is there anything else I can do? Is there some undocumented command-line option where I can tell konsole which konsolerc file to read? Here's my environment: Debian potato (with Linux kernel 2.2.17) KDE package upgraded yesterday, from ftp://tdyc.kde.com: Qt: 2.3.0 KDE: 2.1.2 Konsole: 1.0.1 I use xdm as my desktop manager, and launch kde from my .xsession file. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. -- Scott Prater Dpto. Desarrollo de Servicios y Proyectos [EMAIL PROTECTED] SERVICOM 2000 Av. Primado Reig, 189 entlo. 46020 Valencia - Spain Tel.
