bash, konsole, login shell and suspend.

Hi,

When starting konsole (KDE) a bash is started. If you execute the
suspend command to this shell it will hangs (you can release it by
sending SIGCONT). What you should get is a message like:
"Can not suspend a login shell" (tcsh adds (yet) - a short form of
"asshole"). (Would you do an su - command you will have the same message
but this time, an unnecessary one).
In order to make bash behave like a login shell (as it makes sense when
you start a konsole window) you can use the -l option. So now is the
question. How do you make konsole add the -l option to the bash
invocation or, how do you make things behave as they should?

Thanks.
