I don't know that this should be different, except that when you open a Konsole, 
you are not logging in.

You should not need to do this.  Your: "~/.bash_profile" file should be sourced 
when you start KDE using KDM.  If you are using a different shell, I'm not sure 
how it would work.

Konsole, like other KDE applications saves a per user account configuration file 
in: "~/.kde/share/congig" so each user's configuration should be saved if this 
directory is writable.
