> setting severity to "grave" because it's used for "loss of data" 

Any number of things can cause data loss in a terminal.  It is and has been for a \
long time a completely unsafe environment.  Almost every keyboard shortcut in Konsole \
is probably 'destructive' in one application or another - probably many in \
applications I have never heard of or used (I am a heavy Vim user).  Ctrl+D, Ctrl+C \
are much more common examples.

This is the first time the bug has been reported to me (on bugs.kde.org) or anywhere \
- and I normally hear about this sort of thing very quickly - see the bugs and IRC \
chatter after I implemented close tabs on buttons.

I will:
- Set this bug to 'normal', because there are bugs which are bothering many more \
users.  Making the shell 'safe' frankly involves a lot more than changing two \
                shortcuts.
- Provide a close warning when an application other than the shell is running in the \
terminal

Unless this bug report gets lots of dupes on people complaining to me on IRC or my \
blog I do not plan to change the default shortcuts.  They match (as close as \
possible) shortcuts used to manage tabs in other applications which is I think makes \
learning them easier.
