I use kvt :-). Actually I don't like konsole very much. It completely lacks
utmp/wtmp handling (might be a good idea to integrate utmp.c from kvt into
konsole, it's one of the cleanest multiplatform utmp implementations I've seen)
and I simply don't need most features. The only feature I miss in kvt is the
better scrollback. I would miss the ability to display the original BIOS font
(for BitchX), if it wasn't the ugliest ever of all possible BIOS fonts, which is
additionally _very_ hard to get your hands on if you are simply using binary
only RPM's.

And just a reminder, kvt is still the terminal application installed by default
into the panel, or?

Franz.
