[LUAU] Something Linux Related

[Julian Yap]

One thing I liked about KDE3 was their version of Konsole (X terminal program).

I had set up nice settings for it so it felt like Firefox with the tab shortcuts and a few other things like you could make different display settings for the title bar and the tab text.  You could do this thing where you could send the text input for one window to all the other tabs.

So not with KDE4 they've 'cleaned it up' so a lot of the reasons I used it in the first place are gone.  They've taken out all the 'Advanced' features.  I may as well be using Gnome-Terminal.

Luckily I haven't upgraded my office workstation so I'm still on the Konsole version I like...  A different story on my home laptop.

Anyone know if I can easily run KDE3's Konsole on a KDE4 based distro?

Anyone else know of another 'advanced' X terminal program that they use?
