Description Jonathan Marten 2016-12-15 11:38:25 UTC

Since the port to QCommandLineParser (b3f4bfbd), the "--title" option to set the dialogue title is accepted but has no effect.  This is because Qt parses and actions it without passing it to the application.  The option is still shown in the "--help" output.

Test case: the tests/test script, which specifies a title for the message box tests but shows only "Question", "Warning", "Information" etc. as the window title.

Same problem here. Additionally, when running kdialog in a system with dual monitors, QCommandLineParser complains about missing "geometry" parameter.

Store arguments before creating QApplication

Qt removes certain arguments, such as title and icon, from argv before our QCommandLineParser gets a chance to parse them.

CHANGELOG: Fixed command line arguments, such as --title and --icon not working
