Hi, I disabled xterm scroll-to-bottom using -si but it is pretty much
useless since the output keeps scrolling anyway. I would like to be able
to scroll freely in the terminal output without any interfering
automatic scrolling. Like Terminal.app in Mac OSX. I've tried reading
the manual and googled a bit but I couldn't find anything. Is it possible?

In KDE, if you use the mouse to scroll up the Konsole display while a
program is still updating it. the text gets added to the bit of the display
you can't see; the only visible effect is the thumb moving up the scroll
bar. At least, my box does that; it may depend on telling Konsole to allow
flow control with <CTRL>-Q and <CTRL>-S, which I like to have as well.
