I, like EB, would like this to be an issue and that the old visibility option
and behavior be restored.  The current behavior under openSUSE Tumbleweed is
less that optimal.  EB's use case is an even stonger one to bring back the
previous behavior.

Many other applications, including KDE's, allow users to customize them, often
easily through their UIs.  For example, I can enable and disable Plasma's
desktop effects using checkboxes.  Many effects are installed by default, but I
don't necessarily want them all to be activated.  Almost universally, such user
customizations are stored in files under their home directory, and many are
plain text files.  Certainly, the user could modify them and introduce "bugs,"
but that is on them.  If this is such a serious issue with Konsole, as
suggested in comment 6, perhaps Konsole could run a lint-like sanity check of a
user's profiles on startup and deal appropriately with any errors found.

I am not a fan of modifying defaults if such defaults are implemented in
protected areas (e.g. the program itself or files under /usr).  Unless I am
missing something, the easiest way to restore the behavior (i.e. fix the bug)
is to have Konsole honor the "Favorites" line in the "Favorite Profiles"
section that still exists in ~/.config/konsolerc (and IS still honored by the
Konsole Profiles plasma widget).  The other options offered seem to be too
round-about and complicated, especially when compared to behavior that worked
so simply up until now.

So, +1 from me: bring back the visibility checkboxes and behavior in konwole. 
Thanks!
