With KDE 3 this is already possible to a large extent. If you don't mind=20
writing a small script, try the following:

	KONSOLE=3D`dcopstart konsole`
	dcop $KONSOLE konsole
	dcop $KONSOLE session-1

You can now start a new session with e.g.
	dcop $KONSOLE konsole newSession su

ls $KDEDIR/share/apps/konsole/*.desktop gives you an overview of all availa=
ble=20
session types. You can create new session types by making a new .desktop fi=
le=20
in that directory. You can also use the directory $KDEHOME/share/apps/konso=
le=20
for this.

You can also use dcop in the konsole window itself, try e.g.
	dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP
and
	dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP_SESSION

=46or example to rename the current session you can use:
	dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP_SESSION renameSession 'New Session Name'

Cheers,
Waldo
