Description poseidon 2010-03-07 07:09:45 UTC 
Version:           2.3.2 (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Try:
$ konsole --title "No title" -e /bin/cat > /dev/zero
$ konsole --title "Yes title" -e /bin/cat

Here's a way to do it again in python:

import subprocess
subprocess.Popen(["konsole", "--title", "nada", "-e", "/bin/cat"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
subprocess.Popen(["konsole", "--title", "yada", "-e", "/bin/cat"])
Comment 1 Barry Scott 2010-04-19 12:58:15 UTC 
This is broken for me as well.

--title is ignored is stdout is not a TTY.

This fails:
    konsole --title Title >/dev/null
This works:
    konsole --title Title >/dev/tty

can't reproduce it with 2.7.999
