            Bug ID: 323909
           Summary: The "The program ... is currently running in this
                    session.  Are you sure you want to close it?"
                    confirmation is displayed when I press Shift+Ctrl+W,
                    but not Alt+F4
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: sasha2048 at gmail.com

If a program is running in a tab, Konsole tries to warn me when I'm trying to
close the tab: "The program ... is currently running in this session.  Are you
sure you want to close it?".

But no warning is given when I close all tabs at once by pressing Alt+F4, even
if some/all of the tabs are running programs. It is a bit insonsistent: to warn
user that tries to close one program, but don't warn him when he tries to close
many.

IMO, the message like "The following programs are running:
...
...
...
...
Are you sure you want to close them?" should be displayed when I press Alt+F4.
Only "non-default" programs should be listed (e.g. if all tabs are just running
bash, then no message is needed). Maybe, it may look like kate's confirmation
when I press Alt+F4 in kate (having several open tabs with unsaved data).

P.S.: Or just remove "The program ... is currently running in this session. 
Are you sure you want to close it?" warning, when user is trying to close just
one tab. Because current behaviour is just a bit inconsistent.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Konsole.
2. Type "sleep 1000"; press Enter.
3. Open new tab.
4. Type "sleep 1000"; press Enter.
5. Close thw whole Konsole window by clicking [X] or pressing Alt+F4.
Actual Results:  
Konsole has been quietly closed without any warning.
However, it I'd closed tabs one-by-one (e.g. with Shift+Ctrl+W), then warning
for each tab would be displayed.

Expected Results:  
Either warn user when he is closing several tabs with running programs (with
listing tab numbers/program names). Or don't warn him when he is closing just
one tab with running program.

Version 2.8.5.
