Description of problem:
konsole screen refresh is slow during commands such as ps and ls. 

Also, flashing text causes the konsole window to flicker.

I reported this same problem with null.

xterm does not have this issue.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create a temporary file
2.create a soft link to that file
3.remove the original temp file so that the link is now broken.
4.load konsole
5. get a directory listing so that the broken link is viewable.

1. do 'ps -ef'
2. do 'ls -l /etc'
3. Notice the screen refresh is slow.
	

Actual Results:  screen flickers each time the broken link is flashed.

during ps and ls commands, the screen scrolling is not smooth. Very choppy.

Expected Results:  only flashing file should flicker.

text should scroll by smoothly.

I see the same thing as is very annoying, specially during scrolls. This started around 
limbo and I can't pin point what changed the smooth konsole behavior. A fix for this 
would be greatly appreciated.

This is the same as #73303.

i cleaned up a patch in kdebase again, this issue should be fixed in 3.0.4-1 or
newer.
