Description Lee Graba 2010-10-11 13:45:56 UTC
Version:           2.4.3 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

If I have 2 instances of konsole open, and on one of them I create a new session using qdbus:

qdbus org.kde.konsole /Konsole newSession

the new session sometimes is created on the instance of konsole other than the one where the command was entered.

Either the session should be created on the same instance as the command (implying the above behavior is a bug), or there must be some way to specify the instance of konsole on which the new session should appear (this would be a new feature).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
To recreate, open 2 konsole windows.  Enter the qdbus command 

qdbus org.kde.konsole /Konsole newSession

and note where the new session appears.  If it appears in the same instance as the command, then go to the other instance and enter the same command.  The new session will appear on the other instance.

Actual Results:  
New session will appear on the konsole instance other than the one where the command was entered.

Expected Results:  
New session should appear on the same instance as where the command was entered.
