Hopefully OT stupid bash question

[Anibal Ojeda]

Not stupid had the same question this week ;-) you need to start the konsole 
xterm rxvt what you use with the comman konsole -ls or rxvt -ls or xterm -ls


try it like this:
press alt + f2 than wrtie down xterm -ls 

you are going to have the xterm with your .bash_profile try this with your fav 
application, if you insert this on the panel just write it down with the -ls 

this was the answer from oliver:

Confusion comes from the fact that people just don't realize that
xfterm4 is *just* a *script* that calls $TERMCMD

bash profiles are loaded by login shells, so you must tell the X
terminal you are using to run a login shell.

The proper way to achieve this depends on the terminal that is actually
run (xterm, konsole, Eterm, gnome-terminal, etc.)

Cheers,
Olivier.
