9 In KDE, if you use the mouse to scroll up the Konsole display while a
10 program is still updating it. the text gets added to the bit of the display
11 you can't see; the only visible effect is the thumb moving up the scroll
12 bar. At least, my box does that; it may depend on telling Konsole to allow
13 flow control with <CTRL>-Q and <CTRL>-S, which I like to have as well.
