    Have you restarted the PC yet?
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.

      Yes certainly, and it's happening on three PC's running 64 bit Kubuntu 12.10
      Should be a common bug.

        Well, it isn't a 'bug', at least, if it is, it isn't affecting my 12.10 64-bit install; konsole works just fine.

          It's on different architectures with my stuff and installed at different times, torrented, different install media.
          (Previously I tested 12.04 upgraded the KDE packages and saw the same thing- no Konsole)
          Looking back through Google KDE 4 history I can seen Konsole not starting up is one of the common bugs.
          Saw no recent solution, tried remove/reinstall
          Experienced Linux user I have to conclude it's a bug.

            If you start Dolphin and then press [F4], do you see a terminal window pane within the Dolphin window? If so, then when you try to run konsole from there, what output appears in the terminal window?

              SR - so cool- I didn't know Dolphin could do that!
              Running konsole from Dolphin:

              lance@ASUSDual:~$ konsole
              Segmentation fault (core dumped)

                Try the same thing, but this time in the terminal window, run
                Code:
                strace konsole
                We might identify the cause.

                  Way too much information that is not included.

                    Well, it's actually that "way too much information" that might offer clues as to what's going on. Run:
                    Code:
                    strace -o konsolecrash.txt konsole
                    to save the output into the file konsolekrash.txt. Copy the file into a paste at http://paste.kde.org and reply here with the URL. If I spot anything obvious, I'll let you know.

                      Software likely the cause

                      Thanks so much for the help.
                      I'm finding Kubuntu 12.10 to be fantastic -finally a keeper
                      I think this is related to the installation of my VPN software.
                      Never happend before-it just hit me.
