Ok Folks,

i'll remove the message. The problem is that you will not get diagnostics
anymore in case you start konsole with -e (or with a program by other
means). If this program produces diagnostic output it goes onto another
tty then and will not end on the line from which you start konsole. So the
message is visible only in the konsole window (which closes immediately).

Perhaps i can make an option to keep a konsole window open even after
processing (which would be nice for stuff like -e ls also) and to close it
by other means.

See bug#935 for an explanation.

Lars
