Creating a new terminal/console process
I searched for a while to see if anyone had asked this and didn't find anything. I don't think I was getting good results using the search feature because this seems like it would be something everyone will know, cept us newbies.
Setup: I have SuSE 10.2 and have to run in x windows (KDE) for the tests I'm doing.
Problem: I run an application when KDE starts up but it doesn't have a console/terminal window. I need the window to track some of the output with my eyes
in real time (I call it the U-Track system - revolutionary, I know). So anyway, how do I start an app in a console/terminal window using a script? Keep in mind this thing has to trigger automatically when KDE starts with no user interaction.

I know that you can pass a program to xterm:
Code:$ xterm -hold -e <program name>

It appears that konsole has similar options:
Code:$ konsole --noclose -e <command>
