So if someone notices later some Qt header is included in the form
of "#include <Class>" instead of the more common form of "#include
<Module/Class>", do not rush changing it.

This make EditProfileDialog and HistorySizeDialog reuse the same
widget, instead of duplicating each other in its own code or .ui file.
HistorySizeDialog is now just a simple container of HistorySizeWidget
- the change is not saved into profile and only influences current tab
- remove the 'Save to current profile' checkbox
- remove the 'Defaults' button
- change dialog title from "Scrollback Options" to "Adjust Scrollback"
- change action from "Scrollback Options..." to "Adjust Scrollback..."
The new dialog makes the "Adjust Scrollback..." action more consistent with most
of other actions in the context menu, since they only influence or work in the
context of current tab.
The UI change is not quite satisfactory. Feel free to refine the UI part
to make it more clear and elegant.

* Initial draft of dialogs to manage sessions
- SessionTypeDialog lists available session types and allows the
user to trigger creation, editing or removal of a type.
- EditSessionDialog allows the user to edit an individual session
type.
* Remove access to the old KDE 3 preferences dialog
* Began a re-write of the Konsole part, the intention is to avoid
the duplication of code between the part and the main application
which occurred in KDE 3 and also to make more of the functionality
from the main application available to the part's clients.
* Implement the history size dialog
* Implement SSH bookmarks
* Implement Bookmark Tabs as Folders
* Allow the user to choose which sessions are shown in the 'File' menu
* Implement 'background mode'. When Konsole is started in this mode
(by running "konsole --background-mode") it creates a new session in the
background which can be displayed or hidden at any time by pressing F12.
Idea taken from Yakuake.
* Use tab bar rather than a tab widget for the view container by default,
removes the frame around the terminal display, this does not look correct
if you are using the ported-from-3.5 KDE "Plastik" style in KDE 4.
Qt's very-similar-looking Platique style produces the desired results.
* Fixed two spectacular memory leaks.
* Add option to split the view left/right ( in addition to top/bottom ) and
allow more than two views open at once. Dividing the view into a grid
( aka. "recursive splitting" ) is not yet supported.
* Add menu options to Close Active View and Close Others ( which closes
all views except the active one )
// Behind the scenes stuff
* Rewrote color scheme code
ColorSchema -> ColorScheme
ColorSchemaList -> replaced with global ColorSchemeManager
KDE 4 INI-format color schemes are used if available with fallback to the KDE 3
.schema files otherwise.
* Some more Qt 3 -> 4 porting:
Q3TextEdit -> QTextEdit
Q3IntDict<V> -> QHash<int,V>
Q3PtrList<T> -> QList<T*>
* Various adjustments to resource loading so that the various
*Manager classes can find their resources when being used in
an application other than Konsole ( eg. when being used in a part )
* Change access to singleton managers, the *Manager classes
now have an instance() method to access the global instance and
a setInstance() method which is called by the Application or KPart
constructor to create the manager initially.
* Remove all references to MainWindow from the ViewManager and move
the relevant code to the MainWindow class itself.

independantly. Added ScreenWindow class which represents a window
onto a terminal screen. Each terminal view has one screen window
associated with it.
This breaks the original design choice of not having the view know anything
about the session it was displaying, but I feel that no longer makes
sense when there is more than one view on a session.
Still work-in-progress
* Add methods to support tooltips in filters
* Add start of new history size dialog which I hope is easier to understand.
* Internal renaming for clarity
ca -> Character
cacol -> CharacterColor
CO_XYZ -> COLOR_SPACE_XYZ
ca.c -> ca.character
ca.r -> ca.rendition
ca.f -> ca.foregroundColor
ca.b -> ca.backgroundColor
