You may have misunderstood slightly, though: The context menu of the terminal in Yakuake is provided by Konsole code, not Yakuake. I.e. Yakuake's "configuration UI being reworked" is a consequence of changes to the Konsole KPart in KDE 4.0, and not a Yakuake initiative (in fact Yakuake's own config dialog is slightly different in the KDE 4 codebase as well, but that has no bearing on terminal settings). Also the KPart does offer a couple of new interfaces to bring up configuration dialogs belonging to Konsole these days, which Yakuake makes use of to expose them in menus it does own (tab context menu, main menu).

As for pasting, in the KDE 3 version of Yakuake it used to have its own paste actions which worked by using the sendInput() method of the terminal interface to get the clipboard contents into the terminal. In the KDE 4 version I've decided not to shadow Copy/Paste in Yakuake, since the respective KPart shortcuts actually work now and dealing with shortcut clashes between Yakuake and the KPart is an unopened Pandora's box so far*.


* = Reminds me of the time I tried to recreate the warning about defining CTRL-using shortcuts from Konsole in Yakuake with the option to ignore it and define it anyway (as in Konsole), which eventually failed because I couldn't stop the KPart from eating them, as it actually reimplemented the method that is responsible for executing event filters on QObjects to expressely remove all event filters, as part of the same scheme. The irony was bitter.
