Description brezerk 2016-09-24 21:18:49 UTC 
From konsole help:

  -e <cmd>                   Command to execute. This option will catch all following arguments, so use it as the last option.

So it says: This option will catch all following arguments however, it actually does not follow expected behaviour now (it was working as expected before 16.08.1):

Known problem, caused by the switch to Qt's QCommandLineParser that doesn't support such "rest of the line" arguments.
