> Closing tabs from the file menu is not very nice

Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+W then.  The recommended way to exit the program running inside it, usually by pressing Ctrl+D which sends an 'end of file' message.  This ensures that the program will tidy itself up properly and save any state information that it needs to.  

If you use File -> Close Tab then Konsole will kill the program by sending it a SIGHUP ("The terminal has hung up") message.  Most terminal programs that matter will respond to this correctly by doing any necessary tidy-up and then exiting.  Programs which are not written to handle SIGHUP will just die immediately and may not save their state or release various resources.
