Hi Peter,

        Well, this is the first message that's actually been posted to

Yes, this is probably the biggest outstanding bug we have.  I honestly

though that one keyboard setting does work if I recall correctly with 
konsole...but we will keep working on it.

Thanks, I hope we can get this fixed at some point in the future for you 
and all our KDE users...
