On systems where kde.sh already exists and the workaround has not been applied, however, installing
this update does not, of itself, implement the fix. After installation on such systems, renaming kde.sh
and kde.sh.rpmnew as follows will implement the fix:
cp /etc/profile.d/kde.sh /etc/profile.d/kde.sh.bak cp /etc/profile.d/kde.sh.rpmnew /etc/profile.d/kde.sh
All KDE and pdksh users should install this updated package which fixes this bug.
