Thanks for the tip.

I tried it and it works.  The existing string was %d:%n.  When I prepended %w it worked.  And when I replaced it with %w 
it worked.  The information stayed up for a few seconds, and then reverted to the path.  Some of the information that 
shows in the text console was elided in the konsole version (... information here).  Good enough for me.
