--- Comment #13 from Jekyll Wu <adaptee at gmail.com> ---
So, KDE3 Konso provided three choices:

  * Text and Icon(The only choice in KDE4 konsole)
  * Text Only
  * Icon Only(requested by this report)

I would like to bring back "Text Only". It can be useful for quite a lot (or
most?) of users, who never use customized icon. Showing the same icon on each
tab is only a waste of space, although that still give eyes a better feeling
IMHO.

But I'm a little confused by "Icon Only", or I'm not convinced that it is very
useful in practice. Yes, it can make each tab take even smaller space, but it
also makes it harder to tell or identify one tab from the others. Take the
screenshot in comment #1 as an example(all tabs showing the same icon), I have
no idea what is going on within the third tab unless I switch to that tab. Of
course, I can use different icons in different profiles, but the problem is
still there if I have multiple tabs using the same profile. 

So if any user still misses that "Icon Only" choice, please give some practical
use cases. Or, maybe I should search the bugzilla or git history to find why
"Icon Only" was ever introduced.
