  I think that Coolo commited some patches which were fixing some TTY
related problems on non-i386 non-linux environments. I don't know if any 
cut-and-paste problem was fixed with these. 

  On the other hand the current konsole is stable (i.e. it is not worse 
than the 2.0), and except the recent changes with the KAction stuff it
should be BC. 

  So, if you can go and do a minimal testing against a 2.0.1 library set 
(make sure it compiles and runs) I would say you can go ahead, but ask
Coolo, too.
