           Summary: Can't deactivate "Enable flow control" setting
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: ken.manheimer gmail com


Version:           2.1 (using KDE 4.0.83)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

in konsole's Advanced tab of Edit current profile, the checkbox "Enable flow control \
using Ctrl+S , Ctrl+Q" is set and grayed out, so that the user cannot configure \
konsole to disable flow control.  this is a problem for applications that handle the \
handshaking themselves, and use flow control keys - ctl-s - for other things: emacs, \
nano, etc.

a workaround is to use 'stty -ixon' to disable flow control in the terminal.  that \
must be done locally, before any remote logins, and it sucks to have to remember to \
do so.  some won't figure it out.

this was a known problem in kde 4.1 beta 1, according to 
http://lists-archives.org/kde-devel/16738-kde-4-1-rc1-issues.html
(search for "Enable flow control".)
