Re : complexity.

I did not mean to remove the default alltogether, but just to disallow the changing of the default.

Confusing is the default menu.  You currently have new tab, new window and 'Shell' - shell is exactly the same as 'new tab'.  This is confusing.  I have also learned that a surprisingly large number of users do not have a clue what default means (I have been asked a few times).

Once you add some profiles then you have to understand that new tab is the same as what you have set for default.  It would be better if 'Shell' was removed so only advanced users will see the extra profiles.  It might be even better if the new window and tab could have a sub menu.

Having an advanced usage where konsole can change default profile on startup could possibly be added with a command line switch and the ability to set default could just be removed.  That way the default profile shortcut could be populated without worrying about what happens when they change default (ie ditch any custom shortcut for the new default and replace with ctrl+shift+n).
