GPL clearly states that its your responsability to fix any broken thing you
find by either doing yourself or payng for it - since i now deem you to

Mate, i believe your co-workers all find you a joy to work with.

still,
bow that you have the kde1 libraries and code and can work with konsole 1,
have fun - tell us all what you think of it later.
