can use the greatest version of kde and konsole ever released, back in 1999.

GPL clearly states that its your responsability to fix any broken thing you
find by either doing yourself or payng for it - since i now deem you to
impolite to matter, i wont be willing to help even with monetary incentives.

Mate, i believe your co-workers all find you a joy to work with.

still,
bow that you have the kde1 libraries and code and can work with konsole 1,
have fun - tell us all what you think of it later.
