However....  I did "notice" the problem you reported.  I didn't do too
much investigation.  But, may have a solution.

It seemed to me that the problem existed on a "saved session".  I'm
running KDE and when I logged out/in it brings up the previous windows,
including a terminal session.  What I did, without really thinking, was
to close all open windows, logout and then login.  When I did this, all
was well.

FWIW, I saw your earlier query....but since all was working for me and I
was unable to update to your level I just didn't answer.

IMHO, people shouldn't threaten to revert to Windows.  It just sounds so
hyperbolic and makes me think that the person isn't committed to Linux. 
Almost makes me not want to help them....
