The intention of the code is fine: when konsole is just started, do not
show the size hint since it could be boring and confusing. However, the
code just doesn't work, and using a static variable is definitely a
mistake here.
Apparently I didn't take a close look at the implementation detail of
memory-based history when I added the 'isRealCharacter' flag. That
missing information causes some wrong behaviors randomly when using
memory-based history.
This is a follow up of commit dc2b64d33(for BUG 188528)

An internal property is introduced to record the untranslated name.
When saving profile into disk, always refer to that untranslated name
to get the filename.
This extra consideration is intended to deal with the situation when the
profile's contents are i18nized. The typical example is the "Shell" profile
shipped by default.

Since the menubar and tarbar settings are now global instead of per
profile , those cmdline options are useful to allow users to override
the defautl behavior.
The --hide-menubar and --hide-tabbar options can be used together
to simulate the miminal interface of xterm. I'm not sure whether
--show-menubar and --show-tabbar will be widely used , but add them at
the moment for the sake of completeness.
Now the Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground attribute is always set for the
mainwindow of konsole(regardless of whether compositing is available
when the window is created), just like in konsolepart.
I'm not 100% sure this approach is problem-free, but it works for me so
far under various environments and conditions. Do not hesihate to revert
it if you notice it causes big trouble.
That option is broken for a long time (at least since KDE 4.6.2), yet
there is not a single bug report against it. That is a strong evince
that option is seldom used.
The ideal situation is whenever compositing is available, Konsole
supports translucent background out of box without user guidance.
