Or use:

#!/bin/sh
konsole=`dcopstart konsole`
session=`dcop $konsole konsole currentSession`
dcop $konsole $session renameSession Local
session=`dcop $konsole konsole newSession`
dcop $konsole $session renameSession Remote
session=`dcop $konsole konsole newSession`
dcop $konsole $session renameSession Code
session=`dcop $konsole konsole newSession`
dcop $konsole $session renameSession Compiler
session=`dcop $konsole konsole newSession`
dcop $konsole $session renameSession Data

Hmmm... changing directory is tricky though.

If you add --script to the Exec= line in konsole.desktop you can add things 
like in the above script:

dcop $konsole $session sendSession 'cd /my/work/directory'

Cheers,
Waldo
