           Summary: Shell script does not open in Knosole.
           Product: konqueror
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konq-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: tkaitchuck comcast net


Version:           3.5.1 (using KDE 3.5.1, Debian Package 4:3.5.1-2 (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.12-1-k7

When a user has a shell script that is marked as executable and they click on it in Konqueror, it executes. However it does not open a console window, so if the script requires command line user interaction it simple dies and the user does not know why. What should happen is when a user clicks an executable file in Konqueror that from the mimetype information can be determined to be of a type that normally runs in a terminal window to open and run it in the user's preferred console as determined by their control center settings.
