yes you are exactly correct, it does pull in all that stuff. for me this is 
not an issue as at work we have standardized on KDE and at home I run both 
KDE and Gnome on my workstation. obviously this may not be desired behaviour 
for all installations, and thank goodness xterm is still the gold standard 
in reliability/interoperability and stability IMO and is always there. for 
me, the big winner with Konsole is tabbed browsing, easy configuration (easy 
meaning i can be lazy and use a gui to make changes to key bindings/color 
scheeme etc.) and overall performance.

for me" wright ;^)
