I'm convinced that a bug has been introduced in a recent update, but it's hard to work out where the problem is. > Yes, there are some minor annoyances...as Tim points out, I don't get > the multiple tabbed Konsole restored but only 1 instance with 1 tab when > re-entering my Desktop. > Saving sessions is not yet implemented. Again, I think it will resolve itself. My own preference for konsole was to be able to open a root session with a different theme, so that if I know I am going to need quite a few root commands I can do so without closing the window. With help I now have that working. From the menu I can open Root and the correct colouring appears, together with a prompt for the root password. > To Tim...it's not that things are feebler or have disappeared for any > reason...there actually is a reason and that the benefits of the > re-write of KDE aren't apparent yet and so if you expected to see > progress at this point, you will be disappointed.
