Okay, done with the investigation: utempter makes extensive use of both=20
ptsname & friends (as specified by POSIX.1, which we only implement in 5.0+=
)=20
and SUSv2's utmpx, which we don't implement at all. Someone really=20
knowledgeable with pty-stuff might still be able make a compatible workalik=
e=20
(or hack bsd-specific utmp-supportcode directly into konsole), but not me..=
=2E=20

I'm forwarding this to kde@ for the guys with the coding skillz to ponder=20
upon.
