Hi Stephen,

I modified your script a little bit, it does seem like it's going to work.

I'm able to use sudo / su with "send input to all sessions" just fine.

It seems to trip over itself a little bit, at first I was getting errors like 
this:

> ./konssh3
call failed
call failed
call failed
Uh oh.. can't write data..
true
./konssh3: line 43: syntax error: unexpected end of file

> ./konssh3
Uh oh.. can't write data..
Uh oh.. can't write data..
true
./konssh3: line 43: syntax error: unexpected end of file



In addition to those errors it would randomly work or fail to open a tab with 
any given host - sometimes I'd end up with several tabs - or a few, or only 
one. I made a guess that it was moving too fast for its own good, slowed it 
down with a few sleep statements and it nows seems to be working good.

I removed the --nomenubar option since it bothered me for some reason.

I commented out the while loop because it was causing this error:

./konssh3: line 47: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Also I don't understand the line about "You can now do things like:
dcop ${KID} konsole sendAllSessions "shutdown -h now" " It doesn't work to run 
that in the initiating console. (I tried using ls /etc instead of 
shutdown :-) )

I added the -A option to the ssh client.

So now I have this (If you strip out the comments it's pretty short!):
