Description Jekyll Wu 2012-03-10 04:28:49 UTC 
The code for the "-e" option is problematic. It is only prepared for the case like " konsole -e man ls" where users do not quote the whole command. For the case of "konsole -e 'man ls' ", Konsole just fails.

This report is just for the record.  I have prepared a patch and will push it when I'm more confident that it really works and causes no regressions.

Revert the support for konsole -e "command arguemnts"

Although that looks like a nice feature, it makes the code more
complicated and causes problems when that command is an absolute path
containing spaces.

So for now the only supported way is:

   konsole -e command arguments

This reverts commit aa75fc8fee7e55e0c78640fcbed0bf0627ba7971

Not sure this is really worthwhile. Close it for now.

Allow the -e command line to work w/ arguments w and w/o spaces

This allows both these lines to work:
konsole -e man ls
konsole -e "man ls"
