Let me explain the 'konsole fork itself by default' thing more clearly.

Support now you have one open gnome-terminal or xfce4-terminal as your main
terminal (do not use xterm or konsole as your main terminal, just to avoid
unnecessary confusion)  

a). if you invoke 'xterm' from main terminal, you will notice that you can't
use your main terminal until xterm is closed. 

b). if you invoke 'konsole' from main terminal, you wil notice that you can
still use your main terminal while konsole is running.

c). if you invoke 'konsole --nofork' from main terminal, you will notice the
same behavior as in the xterm case.

When you invoke 'konsole' from main terminal, the newly created konsole process
will automatically fork itself by default. so you will have konsole #1 and
konsole #2( a fork of konsole #1). konsole #1 will finish immediately while
konsole #2 will do its job.

When you invoke 'konsole --nofork' from main terminal, the newly created
konsole process will not fork itself. So you only have konsole #1 and it will
do its job.

I hope that explanation is clear and right(correct my misunderstandings, dear
developers)

And I agree with your idea about the help text. Forking itself by default is
quite unique among terminal emulators.
