Subject: How to spawn a konsole from another app?

I want to execute a bash script and display the results to the user. Since the 
output is very heavily formated, executing the script 
in "konsole --noclose ..." seems the most tidy solution. I currently just use 
the system() function to do this and it works but the main application 
freezes until the user closes the konsole. I think there must be a better KDE 
way of doing this and I have found KProcess but that causes Konsole problems; 
it does not provide the right environment. The error messages:

	konsole: WARNING: Unable to open a pseudo teletype!
	Uh oh.. can't get terminal attributes..

are produced. I only need a 'DontCare" mode of running. What is the best way 
to do this?

TIA
-Robin
