Probably this will need adjustments both in katepart and per application. Hence CCing konsole-devel and Peter Penz (listed as assignee in bug #153648).

I think it's not entirely unreasonable for the konsolepart to restart when the (last) session has closed, instead of self-destructing, so this behavior could be left up to the embedding application.

If this is the desired behavior, however, what would be needed, is a signal in the konsolepart that informs the host when this happens (e.g. doingRestart() emitted as the first thing in Part::restart(), so the hosting app can decide whether to hide the terminal window or not. Of course in a second step, dolphin and kate would need to be adjusted to actually listen for and respond to this signal, which is why I'm just CCing instead of re-assigning.
