Well, having to use the HP-UX POSIX shell at work (which is basically 
identical to ksh which shipped with older HP-UX versions) I can confirm that 
~/.profile is the file being read by login shells also in ksh.

And if you go into Konsole's session editor and change the default session to 
run 'ksh -' (IIRC) that would force ksh to start a login shell.

Alternatively (and better) would be to change the Xsession script to run as a 
login shell and/or source the profile.

What both solutions don't address though is why this wasn't needed with your 
previous KDE version. I wonder what change caused this shift in behaviour. 
Can you safely rule out anything special to your system?
