Bug 208732

Version:           1.5.1 (using 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.30-1-686

Hope this isn't a duplicate, but I couldn't find the bug listed.

To exhibit the bug, start Akregator and minimize it to the system tray. Open a terminal and type:

[code]
akregator http://www.npr.org/rss/rss.php?id=1049
[/code]

The Akregator window maximizes, Akregator prints an error message in the terminal window, and nothing else happens. The expected behavior is to actually add the feed after maximizing the window (I would also still expect the error message about Akregator already running).

This behavior is not exhibited when Akregator is not already running. Akregator works properly in that case.

The reason why this is important is because, while browsing the web, it is very useful to add feeds just by clicking the feed link and having the browser pass the feed link to the feed reader that the browser has been told to start and have the feed reader automatically add the feed to list.

For a temporary workaround, I have made a simple script that I can call from the browser that will kill Akregator and then restart it, passing the feed url that it was passed by the browser. Something like this:

[code]
#!/bin/bash

# Kill akregator
killall akregator

# Restart akregator
akregator "$1"
[/code]

I did notice that you have changed the command line to be more friendly toward web browsers. I have used Akregator for several years now, and I really thank you for your work and improvements in the program.
