In a fact there were three issues:
(1) konsole is not on the path for sh (for bash it is)
(2) kstart does not return any error if it can not find the executable
(3) the xauth-mechanism sometimes fails
concerning (1) adding /opt/kde3/bin to the path of /bin/sh should be considered
since konsole will be on path for any other distro
(2) resolved upstream https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=188014
(3) very strange (see comments #5,#6)
once kstart suceeded three times and failed one time using the same Xauthority:
/usr/bin/kstart --window ROOT-Konsole --iconify /opt/kde3/bin/konsole --caption
ROOT-Konsole .....OK
/usr/bin/kstart --window ROOT-Konsole --iconify /opt/kde3/bin/konsole --caption
ROOT-Konsole .....OK
/usr/bin/kstart --window ROOT-Konsole --iconify /opt/kde3/bin/konsole --caption
ROOT-Konsole .....error
No protocol specified
kstart: cannot connect to X server :0
I do not know what to do about that at the moment.
