The problem with Konsole is that its buggier than a fly trap.
Try cut and paste between two Konsoles. Ugh. xterm works
fine that way. It was enough for me to junk Konsole and
put xterm on my toolbar.
There IS a color-xterm. I think it is called just that,
but I haven't played with it. It should do what you want.
I also believe that color-xterm can be invoked as an
argument to xterm, like
prompt# xterm --colour (notice British spelling of the
word)
Do a bit of research on docs and man pages, I think you
will be pleased. Konsole....better wait for KDE 2.0 on
that. It will corrupt your files.
