Description George R. Goffe 2011-02-14 13:22:51 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

Starting Konsole gives this message: QMetaObject::invokeMethod: No such method Konsole::Application::loadCommandLineOptionsForNewInstance()

Konsole also appears to ignore such requests as geometry including size and location requests via "--geometry 100x100+0+0"


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
konsole --geometry 100x100+0+0

Actual Results:  
Konsole appears to be almost full screen height and width.

Expected Results:  
konsole widget of size 100x100 located at +0+0

I would try to use the help facility but that seems to be rather useless. Typing in the "search" part of the help widget, the search button remains greyed out.

--geometry from "konsole --help-kde" does not appear in the help.

The message about loadCommandLineOptionsForNewInstance() looks very weird. That name does not exist either in the code for kDE-4.5.5, nor in the commit history of konsole(AFAIK).

As for the --geometry option, that seems a known bug. See bug #147094 and #165355.

You need to use 'konsole --nofork --geometry ...' to make it really work. See comment #22, #23 of bug #155603.
