gnome and konsole compatibility

[Tim Johnson <tim johnsons-web com>]

I have always used KDE with linux. I'm interested in installing the
current ubuntu LTS version - with gnome. However, I am a programmer
and have gotten used to and rely on konsole to host a number of
applications that I use to do my work. I would like to be able to
get up and running as quickly as possible, and then take my time
adapting to a new (to me) desktop.

I have a bad experience not long ago with mint. Installed it, tried
konsole and any time I rebooted all of the konsole tabs were
distributed into seperate windows. The mint forum was no help at all
on this matter.

So my question is:
Can I expect to set up konsole with multi-tabbed sessions
successfully and have those sessions restored at boot or login time
just as I currently do with KDE 3.5.10?

  IOWS:I now have two shells, two MCs, slrn,mutt,mysql console, and
	   weechat running in konsole and if I restart, I get _all_ of
	   those restored. I believe that with time, I could do the same
	   with gnome-terminal, but would need to have konsole as above
	   fairly quickly.
TIA
