Version:           2.1 KDE 4.0.85 (KDE 4.1 >= 20080703 (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

OS:                Linux

Less is watching the opened file with Shift-down arrow. Another problem that might be relevant is that attempting to close a root session makes konsole freeze for about a minute and the session remains.

for example), close the pty instead and wait for the process to exit.

The "less" problem is fixed here, the problem with closing a root session remains. Should I file a new bug report for this?
Comment 3 Robert Knight 2008-09-22 04:40:57 UTC 
The more general problem with root sessions has been reported here http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143880 .  I'll close this one as fixed for now.
