Dear Jekyll,

First of all, thanks for the suggested workaround, as well as for all your work
with identifying bug duplicates :)

Secondly, as you implicitly say yourself, your workaround does not really
replace the lost functionality. For example, in KDE3, konsole sessions retained
memory of the current working directory of each shell. No more. There is the
--workdir option, but it refers to all of konsole, not to each shell
separately! Clearly, it's an option that should be allowed in the tabs file
(along with title and command) but is not.

Thirdly, please allow me to kindly disagree with your assessment that comments
#13-16 were sarcastic. I think they were just being factual. I do understand
that most KDE devs are volunteers, but *if* they care for their product to be
relevant with users, they should listen to them once in a while. It's not just
konsole that is broken in KDE4 (and in more than one *major* ways, see e.g. Bug
188528). There's several other *important* packages that are either still
broken or fixed with 2+ years of delay since first reported. When i say
"broken" i mean with major functionalities missing with respect to KDE3. Just
out of memory, i recall my troubles with kmix (e.g., Bug 269176), the keyboard
layouts switch (e.g., Bug 204144), the digital clock widget (e.g., Bug 284891),
and i'm sure there were more. We are now at version 4.8 and some of them are
still unresolved, and even those resolved had to wait till past version 4.5!

If it was just a question of developer work overload, i would just shut up. But
we see intensive development in other segments of KDE (semantic stuff, etc.)
which may be cool buzzwords but of lower priority (or worse) for many/most
users (was there any user poll ever run?).

But i'm getting out of topic here, so i'll stop.
