“Konsole is the X terminal emulator of KDE. I find
having the terminal out of my way, but always open and easy to
reach out to, very convenient. It also looks cool. 😉 With KDE SC
4.3 you can easily achieve this with a few clicks without the need
of any additional software.

“Here is how to do it:

“1> Open up a Konsole window.

“2> Move the window at the position on the Desktop where you
want it to appear. I like having it at the top left corner of my
screen.

“3> Right click on the Konsole window and deselect “Show menu
bar”

“4> Right click again on the window and click “Edit Current
Profile”
