This is my second thread, so forgive (but correct) any newbie mistakes. Again, relevant data is: KDE 3.1.3 installed on a FreeBSD 4.8-stable box from the ports collection.

I'm working on making Konsole take the place of Rxvt on my workstation at work, and I'm coming across a few issues, all of them tied to the fact that due to historical reasons, xterms here have to have delete bound to ^? and backspace bound to ^H. I can get this using the VT420PC keyboard mapping, but I've got problems trying to make this sticky.

First, is there any way set defaults without resorting to forcing a certain profile?

Second, is there any way to set a default profile? I added --profile MyDefault to the command line on the konsole button, but I don't see any way to add that to a terminals button if I add that to kicker, and I've got so many machines I log into on a daily basis that I'd really like to be able to use that.

Third, is there any way to specify different profiles for different bookmarks? This would let me not infect other machines with this broken behavior.

Finally, I noticed that when I save-as to create new profiles, they don't show up anywhere within konsole. I can select them using the --profile command line argument, but that's the only way to use them. What am I missing?

Any information on any of these questions is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

I should have gone into more detail. I'm doing two machines. "Save settings" saved the size of the konsole on both machines, but it only saves the keyboard settings on one of them, and I still occasionally get a konsole with the wrong keyboard setting, though by the time I've noticed, I forgot how I pulled up that konsole.

As for copying the profile into my home directory and modifying it, what is the default profile? Is there one? I looked in /usr/local/share/apps/konsole/profiles and the only profiles there were for multiple shells.

hmm, very strange.

Perhaps removing konsolerc and so starting with an untouched konsole works.

A friend of mime has similar problems.
It worked after he deleted apps/konsole in his KDEHOME dir

Interesting idea. In fact, on the machine that it's working better on, I at one point did "rm -rf .kde*" in my home directory, that might just clean up some of the problems on the other machine. In fact, that's the one that's probably had KDE1 and KDE2 installed on it as failed experiments, so there's no telling what might have gotten messed up.

(Side note:sorry, edited my second message to reply to more of your initial comment, thinking I'd get it done before you got around to reading my reply. Oops :oops

That did it, thanks.
