Konsole is driving me crazy!
Konsole, the terminal emulator of KDE, is driving me crazy! Version 4.8 made a slight change, that breaks an essential feature I'm using.
Up to version 4.7.x, I used the command konsole --profile=Profilename to open a terminal. Then I used ctrl+alt+N to open several terminals with the same profile. For some reason, this broke in version 4.8. Since I use this feature like every minute, I'm getting very frustrated by this.
Here comes the beauty of open source: since Konsole is open source, I can fix it myself.
Then I editted konsole.spec, adding a line after the one that starts with Patch50:
After that, I added a line after the one that starts with %patch50:
And we're done. Build the RPM using the command rpmbuild -ba konsole.spec --define "dist geeklab" and install it.
Somehow, this RPM doesn't cover all of the problems, but enough for me to be happy.© GeekLabInfo
My changes
First, I downloaded the current version of the konsole source RPM and installed it, using rpm -i konsole-4.8.1-1.fc16.src.rpm. In ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES I created a new file named newtab.patch, containing:--- konsole-4.8.1/src/MainWindow.cpp 2012-02-29 23:56:57.000000000 +0100
+++ konsole-4.8.1/src/MainWindow.cpp 2012-04-03 19:47:52.397594047 +0200
