Typically when I go to start something from krunner (I'll use konsole as
the example), what happens is it finds two things: konsole.desktop in
your XDG dirs (i.e. a menu item named "Konsole"), and an executable
program in $PATH named "konsole". The former should have a "correct"
icon while the latter will be a gear (the generic 'executable' icon).
Most likely Konsole.desktop will invoke the same 'konsole' that is in
$PATH, so it shouldn't matter which you pick. However, the second one in
that case is "run konsole", and the first (for me, anyway) is "Konsole:
terminal".

This way, when one types in "terminal" in krunner only the konsole icon
should appear and not the gear icon (unless you also have a command line
program by the same name ;)

Like David, I can confirm that my F9 install still brings up the two entries,
although in this case they both have the same icon, whereas the Mandriva ones
had different icons, neither of which was a gear (one was a monitor on a
stand, the other a plain terminal).

It's not hugely important, but I'm curious :-)
