Running the update process inside a desktop just gives it all the more

I don't want to get in the KDE folks' bad graces, but this likely could
also affect KDE's graphical update system, so I'd advise against using
that for the present too.

Maybe I've just been lucky but I run dnf on a daily basis in a Konsole terminal window (under KDE) and have never seen this kind of problem. I don't use the graphical updater(s).

I also run dnf within the Konsole terminal window (under KDE) and haven't seen this issue.  I also don't use the graphical updates.  I've always found them to be a bit quirky.
