I was in teh same boat (Konsole) when I discovered Yakuake 
(http://yakuake.uv.ro/).  It's a "Quake-style" terminal emulator that 
uses the same KParts as Konsole.  (Don't ask me to elaborate 
on "Quake-style," I don't know what the game looks like - just quoting 
from the project website.)

It runs in the background and you can bring the app in with a hotkey 
(F12 is the default).  I found it to be a huge productivity boost.  
Available in most distributions.
