Attachments: Patch to ignore qt/kde command line options when noKApp == true

Description Kurt Hindenburg 2004-05-25 19:40:46 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

Background: I'm trying to remove the qt/kde command-line options from konsole.

KCmdLineArgs::init( argc, argv, &aboutData, true ); // Disable qt/kde options.
[...]
KApplication a;

However, konsole dies with it hits the KApplication line.  This is because
a KApplication expects to have qt/kde options.

This patch checks for noKApp in the qt_ functions in kdelibs/kdecore/kcmdlineargs.cpp to solve this...

This appears to work O.K. in konsole.

If there is a better way to do this, let me know!

I don't think this it is desired to remove _ALL_ Qt/KDE command line options.

Which Qt command line options don't work in konsole? Do they work in other KDE applications?

1.  KCmdLineArgs::init( argc, argv, &aboutData, true ); 
noKApp - Set this true to not add commandline options for QApplication / KApplication 
Doesn't setting noKApp to true, mean you don't want any qt/kde options?

2. Reconsidering, I don't think konsole can use this init(,,true) line.  
I had thought about adding a function KCmdLineArgs::removeSpecificArg(id,
name).  Perhaps I should consider that.  ie removeSpecificArg("qt", "background")

I don't see a need for this.
