Well, if I do "echo $TERM" I get "xterm" -- but the Properties window when I right-click the launcher tells me as expected that it's a gnome-terminal; and if I go through the GUI menus to More Preferences and then to Terminal, it's set as it should be to "GNOME terminal." (My aged eyeballs need the color-coding that neither xterm nor konsole has, afaik.) As for opening a KDE konsole, as I used to at times under earlier Fedoras, I don't see any way to do that -- except to change the choice in More Preferences, and open a new one, maybe. I'll do that if I have to, but I hesitate: is it safe? Or is there another way? Let me explain. I keep three terminals open, with three to five tabs each, using different profiles, on three different workspaces -- and use all of them constantly, for very different things. I'd hate to have something change the lot, as the indispensable profile editor habitually does with color coding, and have to reconstitute them all. Is there a command with & that I can do, as user or even as root, on a gnome-terminal, that will open a konsole and not affect anything else? Maybe, if there's no easier way, I ought to add a test user, set his preference to KDE instead of Gnome, log out and back in, and try that ... -- Beartooth Neo-Redneck, Linux Evangelist FC 1&4, YDL 4; Pine 4.63, Pan 0.14.2.91; Privoxy 3.0.3; Dillo 0.8.5, Opera 8.01, Firefox 1.0.4, Epiphany 1.0.8 Remember that I have little idea what I am talking about.
