Description Denis Filimonov 2008-11-06 03:43:55 MSK

Bash shells in KDE4's konsole tabs fail to initialize properly.
Judging by strace output, bash doesn't read any of ~/.bash* files except ~/.bash_history

The problem does not appear when bash is started from other terminals such as xterm or KDE3's konsole.

I've tried /bin/bash and /bin/bash -i, makes no difference.

I think I figured out what happened.
/usr/lib/kde4bin/konsole has setgid flag (utemper group) and it executes shell with the user's real gid and utemper effective gid.

According to bash manual page ``If the shell is started with the effective user (group) id not equal to the real user (group) id, and the -p option is not supplied, no startup files are read...''

I believe konsole should do setegid(getgid()) before executing the shell.
