Konsole starts when programs are launched in kde enviroment

I installed the piglet beta of redhat linux. I installed form a cd burnt from an iso-image downloaded from kernel.org. 1. During graphical install, I could not continue from the monitor configuration screen. I hit the next-button, it was pushed down for a second or so, but nothing happend. Managed installing in textmode without problems. 2. Chose custom install. Chose the kde, mail/news, network workstation, Utilities, kernel development, printer, multimedia, games. everything went fine so far. Started KDE desktop and started to check out the programs. This is the problem: Whenever I start a program, the konsole also starts. Even when I hit the konsole.kdelnk, the konsole starts first, then a konsole with a prompt! If I try to close either one, both programs close. This was not so in rh6.1. Geir K.
The beta was created from the development tree at an unfortunate point; there was a broken patch in kdebase. It's fixed in rawhide (and the 6.2 release version). Please re-report the installer problem you mentioned (installer issues are handled by other developers); I'm not sure whether or not that got fixed.
