Konsole's interface ( particularly the menus and settings ) have 
 changed in KDE 4.  These are notes on what needs to be covered
 in the handbook and somewhere to draft a layout for the documentation.

The handbook has been updated to trunk/ which will be 4.2.  
The menus and command-line options are correct.  
There is room for more information which could include some of the ideas below.
Also a FAQ section needs to be added.
Consider adding link to updated Handbook on konsole.kde.org
Consider what to do with konsole.kde.org
