The command to start Konsole with no decorations is:

	kstart --type Override  konsole

Now, if you want to have it transparent, there are several default Schema settings.  Look 
in: "Settings => Schema".  You can also get rid of the: "Menubar" and: "Scrollbar in the: 
"Settings" menu.  After you delete the: "Menubar" you have to right click to set stuff. 
To get rid of the frame: "Settings => Configure Konsole" uncheck the: "Show frame" box and 
click: "Apply".  Then click: "Settings =>  Save Settings" and this is now your default, 
but you still need to use 'kstart' to start it without the decorations, so you need to 
change this in the relevant 'desktop' file.

Note that if you don't find the default Schema settings satisfactory, you can define your 
own in the: "Configure Konsole" widget.

Have fun.
