Konsole 3 used to support the ANSI escape sequences to resize the window. Konsole 4 no longer does.

This for instance causes some Vim plug-ins to completely screw up the display.

How to reproduce:
Open Konsole;
Resize to, say, 140x60 with the mouse;
Type: echo -ne "\033[8;25;80t"

Expected result:
The terminal window is resized to 80 columns and 25 lines.

Actual result:
1/ The display gets screwed up.
2/ The window isn't resized.

The screw up part actually looks like Konsole tries to apply the resize, but with the width and height inverted! I.e. it seems to expect "ESC[8;width;height;t" instead of the correct "ESC[8;height;width;t". So this at least should be easy to correct.

But the window should still resize itself accordingly.
