An impressive feedback :)

You can set it as empty string explicitly. It is just that when Konsole needs
to display one tab title, it (most of time) uses profile name as fallback if
the expanded tab title is empty.

I think that is the logical behavior. What is the benefit of displaying a blank
tab title? That would only be confusing and ugly.

Good point. You can open another wish for this for better tracking.

You are right. The handbook really needs more love. Any help would be
appreciated. You know, it is often hard for developers to write and maintain
handbook of high quality from the point of view of users. And English is not my
native language :)

The source for the handbook is doc/manual/index.docbook. You(I mean any one who
would like to help) can use http://userbase.kde.org/Documentation_Primer/Manual
as a guide.

Another good point. Open another wish ?

Just to clarify, that is not the "default". It is the "fallback".

> title instead of tab title", or do it the other way round, reverse the on/off

Yes, the current description is not that ideal. Maybe it is a mistake to use a
check box to represent the choices in a on/off way. A combo box or drop down
list might be a better way. I will reconsider this.
