Bug 368911

Summary:	Konsole re-uses EWMH -name when it reuses a process

Description temporalabstraction 2016-09-16 20:12:30 UTC

When a konsole window has been created with the `-name` option to give it an EWMH name and a new window is spawned which re-uses the process (which is apparently automatic if not spawned from a terminal) the new window will obtain the EWMH name already given via `-name` to the other process. A current workaround is simply spawning with `--separate` in which case the bug does not occur.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. kill all existing konsole sessions
2. spawn a new konsole with `-name foo`
3. spawn another konsole session without any `-name` argument

An easy way to do it is using a hotkey daemon of some kind and just bind the `konsole -name foo` and  `konsole` commands to two different hotkeys, this is the exact scenario that caused the bug for me. 

Actual Results:  
The second konsole window will get the EWMH window name `foo`

Expected Results:  
The second window should get the EWMH name `konsole`

Thanks for the report and apologies for the delayed response.

I've just tested this on the latest konsole and cannot reproduce the issue.

xprop confirms both have different names.

Can you please confirm if this is still an issue for you?

I tried to reproduce my own bug, and can no longer reproduce it, following my own steps.
