Seems cleaner as a subclass to KProcess since otherwise
it would require a lot of conditional code in KProcess.  
The other option would be to break out a base class from 
KProcess and have each inherit from it:

	KProcessBase
         |       |
  KProcess     KProcessTty

KProcessBase would have all the KProcess stuff that
pertains to a process that is not stdin/stdout/stderr
(comm) related.  Currently my KProcessTty class is not
able to implement some of the KProcess features because
some of the methods are not virtual (suspend()/resume())
and the above would also fix that.

If this sounds worth while I will do it!
