[tbox-l] Problem running konsole on AIX 5.1

[Richard D. <Ric...@LA...>]

I'm running AIX 5.1 at maintenance level 5100-06 on a 64-bit kernel.  Recently, we got a graphics terminal, and not being fond of CDE, I decided to install KDE from the AIX toolkit.  Most things seem to be working pretty well.  I installed the following RPMs:

	arts-1.0.0-1
	kdeadmin-3.0-1
	kdeartwork-3.0-1
	kdebase-3.0-2ssl
	kdebindings-3.0-1
	kdeedu-3.0-1
	kdegames-3.0-1
	kdegraphics-3.0-1
	kdelibs-3.0-1ssl
	kdelibs-sound-3.0-1ssl
	kdenetwork-3.0-2
	kdepim-3.0-1
	kdetoys-3.0-1
	kdeutils-3.0-1
	qt-3.0.3-1
	qt-Xt-3.0.3-1

For no reason I can discern, the "konsole" doesn't work.  When I open it, I don't get a shell prompt.  When I type in commands, they display, but nothing happens.  It seems that no shell is opening within konsole at all.  It really doesn't make much sense.  I've tried adjusting konsole parameters, installing more X11 filesets, poking around the list archives.  I can't understand what's wrong.  Has anyone seen this before?  Does anyone have any ideas?

I can work right now by starting xterm, but I'd really prefer konsole.  Please help me realize what I'm doing wrong.
