Aww, crap.  :-(

Terminal emultators Gnome terminal, Xfce Terminal, Terminator, Guake, and 
anything based on the libvte library write the scrollback buffer to disk.  I 
take that to mean that your ssh sessions get written to disk if you have 
scrollback buffer active.  :-(

And in the video it's explained that konsole (the terminal emulator in KDE) 
also writes its scrollback buffer to disk too, but with some kind of weak 
encoding.
