KDE Konsole help
« on: November 20, 2012, 09:18:29 AM »
I've used xterm as a terminal emulator for years, but I've
been trying out konsole recently.   

konsole --version reports:

        Qt: 4.8.2
        KDE Development Platform: 4.9.2
        Konsole: 2.9.2


In an open konsole (or xterm, or any terminal emulator), if I run

       /usr/bin/konsole

a new konsole will pop up, but I will get these 2 lines of
output in the window in which I ran konsole:

        QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication.
                Application may misbehave.
        QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication.
                Application may misbehave.
     

I searched the forum for this message, and got many hits, but I didn't find
anyone really explaining it: it always seems to be symptom of something else
the person is trying to figure out and I couldn't find anyone addressing this
message.

Are these messages a concern?   Does everyone get it, or do I have something
messed up on my installation?

I'm also observing some other problems I can't explain, but they may symptoms
of whatever is causing the above warning.

konsole --help-kde describes (in addition to others) the --geometry
and --caption arguments.  I can't get either of those options to do anything.

For example, I tried:

        konsole --caption "APPLES" --geometry 150x60+200+10

and I the konsole that pops up does not have a title of APPLES and
the geometry is not 150x60.  The only other kde/konsole option I
really understood was --nofork, and I was able to verify that
it does work.   


What's going on?

Is a known bug since kde 4.8/qt 4.8 (happens to all distributions).
Seems the bug is harmless.
It is not solved yet.
