The file showing where I think changes should be made
The default start folder is $HOME, i think it's a problem in your kde config file. Could you please try with a new fresh user and see if this issue still shows up? Could you please attach the file $HOME/.kde/share/config/konsolrc and direcrory $HOME/.kde/share/config/konsole ? thanks The problem arises also in current Debian Stable, and this was a fresh install. 20:49 john@Boomer$ cat /home/john/.kde/share/config/konsolerc [Desktop Entry] DefaultProfile=Shell.profile [Favorite Profiles] Favorites=/home/john/.kde/share/apps/konsole/Shell.profile [MainWindow] Height 1200=666 Height 1920=1870 State=AAAA/wAAAAD9AAAAAAAAApMAAAKEAAAABAAAAAQAAAAIAAAACPwAAAAA Width 1200=1201 Width 1920=659 [Notification Messages] CloseAllTabs=true 20:50 john@Boomer$ It's not just konsole, it's all of the terminal apps that have menu entries. Do you think the source I highlighted is not the error? I created a user, test. I opened a terminal app, I guess not konsole. As predicted, it started in ~/Documents The new user has no konsolerc file. The new user's directory contains these: [test@Boomer ~]$ ls -l /home/test/.kde/share/config/k* -rw-------. 1 test test 32 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kabcdistlistupdaterrc -rw-------. 1 test test 126 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kalarmrc -rw-------. 1 test test 67 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kcalcrc -rw-------. 1 test test 41 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kcharselectrc -rw-------. 1 test test 37 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kcmaudiocdrc -rw-------. 1 test test 71 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kcmcddbrc -rw-------. 1 test test 45 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kcmdisplayrc -rw-------. 1 test test 56 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kcminputrc -rw-------. 1 test test 1194 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kcmnspluginrc -rw-------. 1 test test 4746 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kconf_updaterc -rw-------. 1 test test 76 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kcookiejarrc -rw-------. 1 test test 39 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kdedrc -rw-------. 1 test test 166 Aug 13 21:10 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals -rw-------. 1 test test 55 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kfmclientrc -rw-------. 1 test test 12099 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc -rw-------. 1 test test 30482 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/khotkeysrc -rw-------. 1 test test 223 Aug 13 21:10 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kickoffrc -rw-------. 1 test test 24 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kio_desktoprc -rw-------. 1 test test 69 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kio_httprc -rw-------. 1 test test 92 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kioslaverc -rw-------. 1 test test 117 Aug 13 21:10 /home/test/.kde/share/config/klipperrc -rw-------. 1 test test 59 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kmail.eventsrc -rw-------. 1 test test 725 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kmailrc -rw-------. 1 test test 3051 Aug 13 21:10 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kmixctrlrc -rw-------. 1 test test 1630 Aug 13 21:10 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kmixrc -rw-------. 1 test test 66 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/knoderc -rw-------. 1 test test 60 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/konqsidebartng.rc -rw-------. 1 test test 55 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc -rw-------. 1 test test 491 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kopeterc -rw-------. 1 test test 237 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/korganizerrc -rw-------. 1 test test 77 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kpatrc -rw-------. 1 test test 158 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kpgprc -rw-------. 1 test test 57 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kpilot_addressconduitrc -rw-------. 1 test test 57 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kpilot_docconduitrc -rw-------. 1 test test 57 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kpilot_mailconduitrc -rw-------. 1 test test 57 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kpilot_malconduitrc -rw-------. 1 test test 57 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kpilot_notesconduitrc -rw-------. 1 test test 79 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kpilotrc -rw-------. 1 test test 57 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kpilot_sysinfoconduitrc -rw-------. 1 test test 57 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kpilot_vcalconduitsrc -rw-------. 1 test test 107 Aug 13 21:10 /home/test/.kde/share/config/krunnerrc -rw-------. 1 test test 1332 Aug 13 21:10 /home/test/.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc -rw-------. 1 test test 121 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/ktimezonedrc -rw-------. 1 test test 58 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kuriikwsfilterrc -rw-------. 1 test test 81 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kwin.eventsrc -rw-------. 1 test test 226 Aug 13 21:08 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kwinrc -rw-------. 1 test test 180 Aug 13 21:10 /home/test/.kde/share/config/kwinrulesrc /home/test/.kde/share/config/kresources: total 12 drwxrwxr-x. 2 test test 4096 Aug 13 21:08 calendar drwxrwxr-x. 2 test test 4096 Aug 13 21:08 contact drwxrwxr-x. 2 test test 4096 Aug 13 21:08 notes [test@Boomer ~]$ Did you get different results when you tested it? grant devel ack Not reproducible on fresh RHEL 6.7 installation with KDE. Tested with konsole and xterm and both are opened in $HOME directory. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is in the Production 3 Phase.

Description of problem: Terminal applications includ konsole and gnome terminal start in ${HOME}/Documents Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install RHEL+KDE 2.Login 3.Start any console app using the menu system Actual results: Terminal apps start in ${HOME}/Documents Expected results: Terminal apps start in ${HOME} Additional info: If I login at a Linux console, or remotely using ssh or telnet, or in any other desktop environment, users' sessions begin in ${HOME}. this is true on Linux distros, its true on MAC OSX. I am running CentOS, but I built these parts of KDE from RHEL source myself. Just to be sure. The attached file shows what I think needs to be patched. Oh, one unsatisfactory workaround is to edit all the relevant desktop files an add Path=%HOME. That works in KDE, but GNOME won't use them. Itś also unsatisfactory becase all the files are in /usr, and the next KDE update will clobber the changes.
