A bit of KDE trivia

I'm not a real fan of any of the bloated desktop systems (I normally
use IceWM for my gui needs), but I'm usually curious aobut new things.
So, when [K][Uu]buntu made the KDE 3.5 version available for 5.10
users, I put it up and I'm running it just for grins.

Today I had reason to open more than one Konsole session on a desktop
(connected via SSH to our local LUG server in one session and needed
info from my local system). I discovered that KDE 3.5 (maybe earlier
versions too?) selects a subtly different background color (off-white
in my case) for each session! Thus you get a slightly different visual
image for each session.

Not a bad trick.
