Hi

Same/similar problem with konsole

kdebase-4.2.1-2.fc10.x86_64

Error message when run from a terminal

[fred at meon konsole]$ konsole
konsole(3835): Attempt to use QAction "change-profile" with KXMLGUIFactory!
[fred at meon konsole]$ Undecodable sequence: \001b(hex)[?1034h

The konsole terminal opens OK in this mode

To get konsole to launch OK from xfce panel by setting it to run in "terminal" mode
with konsole --nofork shows the same error

konsole(3978): Attempt to use QAction "change-profile" with KXMLGUIFactory! 
Undecodable sequence: \001b(hex)[?1034h

Edited/removed ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole/Shell.profile
or the whole of ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole
makes no difference - so suggest that its not the contents of ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole
causing the problem
