I for one like the k_names for all that can stay k_whatever. ALT+F2 <app I want> is second nature. Even going forward, if major apps change names, then instead of replacing the 'k' with a 't' why not just add a 't' in the beginning:
tkonsole (sounds a lot better than 'tonsole') and tkonqueror (sounds a lot better than 'tonqueror')
Or we could completely change the names, as MATÃ did. For Konsole, unfortunately Terminal and Terminator both exist. I think Trinitype (as a name which is close to Teletype) could be a good name, but as I'm French-speaking I can't say if it sounds good ;) For Konqueror, the original name came from the browsers (http://konqueror.kde.org/faq/#WheredoesthenameiKonqueroricomefrom): Navigator, Explorer, Konqueror. Perhaps ColonisT would be a good sequel ?
Sounds like a colonoscopy to me. ;-)
Konqueror is an especially tricky app to rename; it would be like trying to rename Explorer under Windows. How many times have you said to a user "Fire up Konqueror and do..."?
