I suppose then, what's really needed, is for KUniqueApplication to 
become aware of applications having multiple instantiations. After 
all, it does allow a non-unique instance, so IMHO, it naturally 
follows that it should be aware of the mulitple instances that it 
created (itself!), and be able to allow a specific one to be selected, 
if desired.

That would probably be outside of your scope as Konsole contributor...

One advantage of a single-process model, is that tabs can be moved 
between windows...

That does sound more important to me, especially since I suspect that 
most users would not be interested in how many konsole processes there 
are anyway.

Kind regards & thanks again for replying to my bug report, and thanks 
for your work on improving Konsole.

Rogier.
