For me it crashes. I have tracked it down to a problem with the configuration
settings that I have used for the last 10+ years. It seems that they decided
to remove the vt420pc terminal type from the list of valid choices. So far I
cannot find any documentation that explains this change. I have found that
there is a file  /home/tdiehl/.kde/share/apps/konsole/Shell.profile that
contains a line KeyBindings=vt420pc. If I rm that line konsole will start.
If that line is there then konsole crashes.

So, does anyone know where I can find the documentation that explains this
change and how to get my keybindings to work properly again?

Oh by the way this is not only screwed up on my F10 system I have the same
problem on F9.

FWIW:

(tigger pts8) # rpm -q kdebase
kdebase-4.2.1-2.fc10.x86_64
(tigger pts8) #
