So let's take it off the bug report ;-). It's drifted well off-topic anyway.

Again, I don't disagree per-se. However...

...I'm not sure I agree with this. Of course it's your time, and I'm not 
going to demand you make changes :-). But I hope you would entertain 
patches at a future date, say, if I wanted to split konsole into using a 
process-per-tab model and did a large chunk (i.e. more than half) of the 
work.

I also think it might be more worthwhile for testing and for people like 
me that run trunk, where stability problems can occur more often simply 
as the result of a bad build (i.e. checking out an svn version with a 
known bug).

This is a big deal, because now some tiny minority has lobbied for

Yeah, I know. Par for the course. I hate the American government.
Actually, I was talking about X.org...
