Thank you for looking at this report. I have already seen in a later 
notice, that you have
closed this report with a 'won't fix' because I was looking at an older 
version. I totally
understand and support your decision. I will look at the documentation 
that you pointed
me to.


Please see my indented comments below.

    unless the changelog is fully automated, it probably more time
    than it is worth. (just my 2 cents of opinion)

    Good architectural design is import and from what you have said, it
    looks like the design is pretty good, maybe even great - I don't
    know without doing a lot of exploration. My point is that konsole is
    an 'application' that runs in the window manager. It should only be
    tied to the window manager through a generic interface (wrapper). An
    window management system that meets the generic interface should be
    able to run the application. Personally, I would like to be able to
    run konsole on any flavor of Unix and it would be nice to be able to
    run it on windows, a Mac or on Android.
