konsole supports the standard foreground and background escape sequences, allowing me to ditch xterm and still have my login sessions automatically colour code themselves and automatically change colour on disconnect — a big deal for me, because I use it as an extra safeguard to make sure I'm working on the right machine. I like the way that this allows me to accumulate different sessions on the same machine in a single window and to switch between them using tabs. I'm not convinced by the tab naming scheme. It should be possible to set the tab and window names separately, and it ought to be possible to set the tab name using the icon name, i.e. to get it to pick up the name set by the standard icon name escape sequence.
