this has continued to be a problem, previously sporadic and now, after my
upgrade to kde 4.10, constant.  every new konsole windows starts catching flow
control characters, preventing use of ctrl-s in bash and tty emacs, and even
worse, ctrl-x ctrl-s (save file) in tty emacs.  the option to disable flow
control handling is still inhibited, leaving it permanently on.

my workaround is to issue 'stty -ixon' to my shell, when i start a new window. 
i am reluctant to make that a part of my permanent shell initialization, since
i use it on other platforms where this is not broken (and i don't know the
collateral consequences of disabling flow control everywhere).

i continue to wonder why the option is not just re-enabled, so the
configuration can be brought directly to bear where it is a problem?
