Description Jennifer 2012-07-30 11:17:25 UTC 
I enter the following line command on a terminal: "kwrite /ddisk/i/Links.txt --geometry 690x576+100+100".  It accepts the 690x576 part of the geometry but ignores the +100+100.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Invoke KWrite from a terminal, using your own file name, but with the geometry option as described above.  If it puts the window in the upper-left corner of the available screen, it's ignoring part of the geometry.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
The window is always placed in the upper-left corner of the screen.

Expected Results:  
The window is placed where I want it.

I've been running this under the Gnome desktop.
