This commit adds a new feature, as well as a new translatable string. Did you make sure both changes are allowed while we are in feature and string freeze?

In KDE3, Konsole was interpreting this command as "make the color bright" and leaving font weight untouched. Beginning with KDE4, both color and font weight are changed. At the very end, the decision whether or not to make the font bold is somewhat matter of taste, and since many fonts available for Linux look ugly when they are bold, it is reasonable to leave this decision to the user, making this a configurable runtime option.
