SUMMARY
In Fedora, we're working on replacing the kernel VT (fbcon) with a
Wayland-based one, and we want Konsole+KWin to be a supported option.

So I need a way to launch konsole, without menu/toolbar/tabs, and to disable
features that won't work in a single-application wayland environment (like
opening file Manager or URL).

Also the user launching konsole is a dummy user, without home folder.

Currently I can remove the main and session toolbar by going in the
settings->Toobars Shown menu, and unchecking both toolbars, but it would be
better to have a command line argument.

For reference, here is the current script to start kwin_wayland/konsole on a
VT:

And here is a test package for Fedora, so you can see what it looks like:
