Fedora 15 Gnome 3 tries to launch kconsole for terminal

[crokett]

I have Fedora 15 installed on a desktop with both Gnome-shell and KDE installed. When I am logged into Gnome, if I do a search for 'terminal' it brings up a icon called terminal, but then tries to launch a kconsole executable. /usr/bin/kconsole does not exist. As a workaround I symlinked that to gnome-terminal so now it works, but I'd like to fix Gnnome. I am not sure where to look. I looked through gconf-editor and gnome-tweak-tool. It all looks good. It didn't find any entries for kconsole. Is there a way to rebuild the index that the gnome-shell search uses, or otherwise fix this?

I've got GNOME, KDE, Xfce and LXDE all installed, and there are two indistinguishable "Terminal" icons in my applications list, plus LXTerminal and XTerm. Of the two "Terminal"s, one is Xfce Terminal, the other gnome-terminal. Konsole has its own entry, but with the same graphic as both the "Terminal" entries. Of course, it may be called Terminal in other locales (I'm using en_GB). I use the terminal quite a lot, so I made sure to add my preferred terminal to the dash.

If KDE is installed, why does /usr/bin/konsole not exist? Did you specifically uninstall it, or are you actually searching for "kconsole" by mistake? Does Konsole actually start when you click on the icon, of do you get an error?

Basically I'm trying to find out if this is the normal but annoying confusion of having multiple desktop environments installed, or whether the applications list is actually broken...
