I believe that it is a possible solution (or workaround) that others seem to have missed. I have not tested it, because I only have this one machine, and don't want to experiment. To wit: You might want to check out your config file(s), which can be changed with a text editor. I'm not sure which one governs your Konqueror settings; it could be that they are duplicated for reasons unknown to me, or just that I have migrated through several different Linux systems, always using KDE3 or TDE, so that I am the culprit. Or maybe the KDE5 version of Konqueror is in the .kde folder, and the Trinity version is in .trinity, which would make sense, but it ain't necessarily so. In any case, it seems to me that if you change the entry in these lines, you can have whatever terminal-emulator you want. ************ /home/<USERNAME>/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc -or- /home/<USERNAME>/.trinity/share/config/konquerorrc [Open-with settings] ... ... ... /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator,konsole ************ And here you will find another variant: /opt/trinity/share/config.kcfg/konqueror.kcfg <group name="General" > <!-- konq_mainwindow.cpp --> <entry key="TerminalApplication" type="String"> <default>konsole</default> <label></label> <whatsthis>Terminal application to use.</whatsthis> <!-- checked --> </entry> </group> ************ Maybe this will help.
