NOTE: whilst KONSOLE_TERMCMD and KONSOLE_TERMCMDRUN are provided
and will work with KDE's Konsole terminal application Konsole from KDE 3,
Konsole in KDE 4.0 and later will no longer work here due to the fact
that it now launches in the background by default, and it is not practically
possible to wait until it has terminated. It is hoped that this can be fixed
in a future version.
