In addition to BB's answer (which should work), I use a different method:
First, in konsole, run konsole --help. As with most kde apps and indeed
as is traditional for Linux and Unix apps in general, that will output
the various commandline options available.
You can then use those options to run a konsole session with the desired
konsole options (from memory, --noclose in this case), that in turn loads
your script. There's also an option (-e) that tells konsole which
command to execute. You'd put your script (and any options the script
takes) after that.
Doing it that way also allows you to use all the normal konsole/kde/qt
options you might wish, for instance, hiding the tabbar and menubar, if
your normal konsole sessions show them, changing the window title and
icon, etc. So you can make it look much different than a regular konsole
session, if you'd like.
