I understand what you're saying. But if this is a bug fix, then it leaves me 
scratching my head. It looks more like a workaround rather than a bug fix and 
pretty cludgy one at that. Especially since everything else in KDE tends 
towards some degree of elegance.

Ahh well doesn't really effect me since I don't really use the terminal in 
Dolphin anyway. I will leave it for the users to sort this one out.

Thanks for the info Kevin.
