I found a way to do this, but it still has some flaws. I call the uml=20
like this:
linux ubd0=3Dcow_2 con=3Dxterm xterm=3Dwrapper.sh

Using the following wrapper.sh:

#--- snip ---
title=3D$2
exec=3D$4" "$5" "$6
session=3D$(dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP newSession)
temp=3D$KONSOLE_DCOP
call=3D"DCOPRef("$(echo $temp | cut -d "," -f 1 | cut -d "(" -f 2)
call=3D$call","$session")"
dcop $call renameSession "$title"
dcop $call sendSession "$exec"
#--- snip ---

This way I get a new konsole session for each tty of the starting uml.

NOTE: wrapper.sh and port-helper MUST be in the path of every newly=20
started konsole! Otherwise you are in for some trouble.

The big problem using this "solution" is the following message:

I keep getting this meassage on tty0 on every start up. And I noticed=20
that sometimes "shutdown" doesn't work as expected; I had to kill the=20
uml for the outside.
