Would that it were so easy.  I have tried to eliminate konsole-noxft and this 
ends up breaking konsole vis a vis kicker.  I have gone into kmenuedit and 
changed the konsole entry to be JUST "konsole %i %m" instead of the 
bull-feces "konsole-noxft...".  I deleted the kicker konsole and re-added it.  
It should use the konsole command instead of konsole-noxft.  It works for 
NOW.  Log off and log on again and pop!  Back to konsole-noxft and broken.

Unfortunately, if you use anything other than ext2 and ext3(?) you cannot set 
file attributes to immutable it seems.  I use XFS right now but have used 
ReiserFS and both don't let me set immutable flags on files, otherwise I 
would set the system configs to immutable so that konsole-noxft can never 
rear its broken head again.  I have even tried deleting konsole-noxft and 
creating a symlink to konsole - doesn't work.
