[Konsole-devel] "confirm quit with open sessions" and root sessions

Hi,

if I have a "builtin" root shell in konsole running, I can't simply close the 
window.
If I have a normal shell in konsole, where I entered "su -" manually, I can 
close konsole.

If konsole would simply exit, wouldn't the "builtin" root shell also exit, 
since it is a child of konsole ?

I'd find it much less annoying if the option "confirm quit..." would also 
effect the handling of root shells, i.e. only stop exiting with "not all 
sessions could be closed" if the "confirm quit..." option is enabled.

Any objections ?

I also don't see any security problems, if the user is able to click the 
window-close button, he is also able to switch to the already running root 
shell and do whatever he wants to.

Bye
Alex
