I suspect your problem is with KDM, not Konsole. When KDE gets started this
way there is no proper login shell. There is a shell script that should
source .bash_profile, but because it's running under sh, it doesn't
understand the bash specific stuff.
I did once experiment with a .bash_specific file that got sourced either in
bash_profile, or .bashrc according to whether a BASH_ONCE variable had been
exported. I think it worked, but I dont have it anymore.
