When I attempt to create a new konsole, setting the schema from the command line, it comes out incorrectly.  It appears, from looking at the atime on the schemas, that the konsole binary is reading both my supplied schema and one other, and that other is taking precedence.  The resulting konsole, in the settings, claims to be using the schema I supplied, but is using another one.  If I re-select the same schema, the konsole changes appearance to match the one I originally requested.  Some schemas behave correctly, but the following ones do not:
GreenTint, GreenTint_MC, Transparent, Transparent_MC, Transparent_darkbg, Transparent_lightbg

So, for instance, typing  "konsole --schema=GreenTint"  produces a konsole window with Linux schema colours.
