That's part of something that Petr added in Dec 2003.
I don't understand what it's for, even after reading the code and
the comments.  

(And what is a "multitab console" anyhow?  I use KDE on all my
machines, but I have no idea what piece or feature of the KDE
desktop this code affects).

It does seem that the code above should be changed to
	if (cmd) {
		system(cmd);
		free(cmd);
	}

Petr?
