   Yes, right now, but this is not necessary, and can be circumvented
easily. Clearly konsole is not a "viewer" and it must have a special
status in konq. 

   There will be definitely no konsole protocol. The only link I see
between the two is that the shell in konsole may follow the
current directory in the current shell above it (if we find a shell
independent way of doing it...). There is already some
kind of support for this -> try to drag something from konqueror to
konsole. 
  
   Besides that it would be exactly the equivalent of a regular shell.
