So After 5 years Gnome I decided to give KDE another shot. I'd like to leave out the whys.
Konsole: .bashrc is not executed
Are you certain that it is: "~/.bashrc" that is not being executed? This should be run whenever Bash is opened in interactive mode.
- how do I make konsole use Linux-Konsole by default?
IIUC, you think that this will fix the problem. I don't think so.
Is it possible that it is the: "~/.bash_profile" script that isn't being executed. This script is not supposed to be executed when you open a Konsole. However, your system should be setup so that it (along with: "/etc/profile") is executed once when KDE is started.
<SNIP>
non-KDE-apps on Kicker: said Sylpheed needs a distinguishable icon on Kicker, I stick to the kmail icon for now but the original one is better. where does it have to go and what formats are known for icons? only png? how about svg?
KDE will use several common bitmap icon formats. The icons can be anywhere as long as you put the full path in the *.desktop file for the menu entry. Icons for GNOME should be automatically found if they are in: "$KDEDIR/share/pixmaps/". If you have GNOME installed with a different prefix than KDE, a single link:
$KDEDIR/share/pixmaps -> <GNOME-prefix>/share/pixmaps
should make the GNOME icons available to KDE automatically.
