They need to be decided upon first.

This is quite a small feature which won't affect other terminal
programs and doesn't require any user interface or string changes, so
it could go in for 3.5.7.  I can port it to KDE 4.
The only thing I ask is that the patch is well commented, and
documentation on the new escape sequences needs to be put somewhere
(perhaps konsole.kde.org ) for other terminal emulations to look at.

Regards,
Robert.
