If not, how ? Please describe the problem in a clear and umambiguous way. Basically, you should follow the template shown in https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=konsole&format=guided, i.e., "Steps to reproduce", "Expected results", "Actual Results", etc. That would reduce the cost of communication and the chance of misunderstanding.

That commit only makes konsole more like other emultators. So if konsole is starting in "~/Documents" when started through krunner or menu, I'm pretty sure that also applies to other emulators, like xterm, rxvt-unicode, gnome-terminal, etc .

I dont get it. Start Konsole in GNOME --> opens in ~ Start Konsole in KDE --> opens in ~/Documents And it doesnt care if you use krunner or not to start it so why is this krunner related anyway? Does krunner set a global var which is used by konsole?

Without that commit, konsole just start in "~" if you haven't set the initial path explicitly in default konsole profile.

If I open a system terminal, it opens in ~, but once I try to open xterm or konsole, it opens in ~/Documents (no matter how I run them - krunner or any other way). Also, if I open a second tab in Konsole or a second Konsole instance - it starts in ~. I don't have any "cd" to Documents in bashrc or profile and it doesn't appear in environment variables. So, to me it's a bug in KDE. KDE shouldn't affect the behavior of Bash.

As has been pointed out, a second or subsequent instance of Konsole starts with ~, not ~/Documents. I don't understand this inconsistency, which is perhaps even more annoying than having *all* instances start in ~/Documents would be. Anyway, I've now set my Documents path through System Settings to be my home directory. I don't think I should have to do that, and it's a kludge, but there it is.

The reported problem happens to konsole 2.9.x. But the same problem also happens to xterm, gnome-termianl under the same situation. 2. There is *nothing* wrong on the konsole side, IMO. The "faulty" commit mentioned in comment #3 only makes konsole more like other emulators. 3. No matter whose fault it is , if users think it is konsole's fault, then it is and should be fixed. 4. I don't like the idea of writing extra (strange) code to work around a long outstanding problem in another component. More precisely, the problematic code is here: http://lxr.kde.org/source/kde/kdelibs/kio/kio/krun.cpp#1079 . 5. Reverting that "faulty" konsole commit is an easy task, while it also means konsole will lose that only recently gained similarity to other emulators. In the end, I think reverting is the right way. But I'm still reluctant to do it (because there is nothing wrong on the konsole side, you know...). That is why I didn't fix this problem in KDE SC 4.9.1, although I had enough time to do it. So all subscribers of this report, you have two choices to get this problem fixed : 1. Raise your hands and push me in this report: "I don't care whose fault. I only want it to be fixed ASAP(4.9.2). Revert that commit. " 2. Go to bug 183534, add your polite and convincing argument why the current behavior of using KGlobalSettings::documentPath() as the fallback working directory is problematic. Then wait for bug 183534 to be fixed. l Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/konsole/+bug/1068451/comments/11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2012-09-14T12:15:43+00:00 Maxim Kukushkin wrote: Hello Jekyll, I see your point.

The global fix is more appropriate. But the only thing I don't understand is why the second instance of Konsole runs in ~/ directory? I press Alt+F2, type "konsole" and it starts in ~/Document. Next, I press Alt+F2, type "konsole" and it starts in ~/. It seems that the Konsole not always inherits its working directory from parent process. In the case of Gnome Terminal launched by Krunner, second instance starts in ~/Document directory.
