The problem with having both profiles and a "Configure Konsole" dialog is that there would be more than one place to look in order to find a particular setting.  At the moment everything is in the one dialog.  I'll have a think on that.

That is indeed a bug.  In the current design the tab position should behave like the 'Show Menu Bar' setting, ie. it should apply only to new windows.

I personally would prefer a close button on the tab as in say Firefox for two reasons:

1)  It is possible to close a tab other than the active one.  This is useful when you have a few tabs left over from earlier activities and they are not needed any more.
2)  It is more explicit which tab will be closed when clicked.

In Firefox the close buttons are visible but greyed-out on inactive tabs which means that they are accessible but don't add visual clutter.
