Just wondering if anyone else had this problem. . .I open a terminal in KDE and then after that it won't close. Neither by typing exit, hitting the X, Alt-f4 or Close from menu pull down. When I reboot I get all of the terminals that I haven't been able to close come back to haunt me. Only way I know if is XKill (ctrl-alt-esc). . .
I wonder why you open new windows if you've got some already?
If you cant use them because the promt doesn't return try contrôle c to get the prompt back and then exit.

Rep:
i think they're crashing, but will not close, then when he restarts, kde opens the stuff he had open before, which includes the crashed konsoles. kill off those konsole's with top or
"killall -9 konsole" or whatever you wish. try using eterm or gnome-terminal or something else. kde has a setting for whether or not the session is saved. unclick that after getting everything closed and exiting one time.
Actually they stop responding after I try to close them and nothing I do has any response after that point. . .not ctl-c or killall. . .
When I boot up they are fine, I can type in them. . .
They act almost as if they really are closed (internally), but KDE is not closing out the GUI part of it. . .
I did check the start with empty session in sesion manager/ctrl panel to get rid of them at boot up and the wierd thing is is sometimes they do close. . .go figure!
I was thinking about re-installing the whole KDE-BASE to see if that changes anything. . .
