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.
