           Summary: session tabs flicker too much with "Monitor for
                    Activity"
           Product: konsole
           Version: 1.3 Beta
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: thiagom at mail.com


Version:           1.3 Beta (using KDE 3.1.94 (3.2 Beta 2), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.6.0-test11

This is HEAD 20031201, but this has been present for quite a while.

I have several sessions in a single Konsole window, all of them with Monitor for Activity enabled. Whenever I type in any of those sessions, the session icon flickers, changing from the standard "console" icon to the "lightbulb" activity icon.

What's worse is what happens to any of the sessions to the right (i.e., not the leftmost session): the icons in the leftmost session flickers as well, as if I was typing in that session as well.

What makes this more annoying is the fact that typing in those sessions comes in "bursts" because konsole loses a lot of time updating the tabs and their icons. This is more visible when holding one key down, but it happens when typing normally.
