Comment 42 for bug 184337

I'm using 8.10 with KDE 4.2, and DGMcCloud's workaround fixed the problem for me.

When hunting to see if anyone else had this problem I noticed this thread on the kde.org forums (http://forum.kde.org/plasma-says-that-cant-launch-konsole-it-actually-t-29221.html)

A developer said "It is a not-yet-hunted-and-killed bug in kdelibs. (IIRC, it used to show up every now and then even before 4.0) "
