You have to jump through some hoops to get a script in #KDE to pop up a console like Windows would do.  I eventually made a desktop shell script
<br />-----
<br />#!/bin/bash
<br />konsole -e /bin/bash -c "echo Testing; sleep 3"
<br />-----
<br />...and chmod +x on it.  If you're running a program you can just do konsole --workdir /path/to -e /path/to/program 
<br />#Linux
