Konsole was AFAIK first released with KDE 1.1, it's predecessor was "kvt".

This should be easy with konsolepart and Konqueror if Konqueror would allow to
start more than one "Terminal Emulator". I don't know why it doesn't allow it.

It is almost complete (child window will not have full functionality of main
window) and working (except of one bug). If you are interested, I could send
you the patches and a new class, some tester feedback would be really nice.

There is no "dragging" but a menu command, and you can reattach it: It's not 
separated from Konsole: If you close main window, childs will be closed too.

They should be able to read it now. :-)
