Indeed :)

If you are talking about the if [ "$cmd" == "TERMINAL" ] switch, then I
think it will not fix the case when session is "single command" and the
"gnome-terminal" is manually entered as a binary (with or without path).
I use such session definition on couple of workstations that have both
KDE and GNOME installed to get gnome-terminal instead of konsole... Not
sure how wide-spread that use case is, though; or if it could perhaps be
done better?

Capturing konsole's output to STDOUT seems to do the trick, at least at
the moment. So for now, it works correctly without setting IMEXIT.
