--- Comment #8 from Jekyll Wu <adaptee at gmail.com> ---
I think I understand your point of KONSOLE_DBUS_SERVICE, but that sounds
impossible according to the current implementation detail. The decision is
mostly done inside class KUniqueApplication, while Konsole can only force it to
use new process under some special and sane conditions(like this --display
option).

Actually, I keep thinking about this "single process" model and
KuniqueApplication ever since I started contributing to Konsole in last year. 
I myself never expect terminal emulator to be single process, especially when
it is the default behavior. Maybe an explicit daemon/client combination like
urxvtd/urxvtc is a better way to achieve the "single process" model. 

But whatever, this "single process" model and its implementation is unlikely to
change in the near future. The current focus of konsole development is to fix
various small issues of KDE4 konsole and make it look like a finished product
instead of a half-finished product.
