SUMMARY
I have «Run all Konsole windows in a single process» enabled and trying to execute something with «konsole -e <command> --new-tab» and it just opens a new Konsole window, but if I do «konsole --new-tab -e <command>» it opens a new tab in existing window as it should. At first I thought it didn't work at all, because I'm used to adding flags at the end and konsole --help doesn't mention that «--new-tab» should be at the begging. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Do konsole -e sleep 20 --new-tab
2. Do konsole --new-tab -e sleep 20 

OBSERVED RESULT
konsole --new-tab -e sleep 20 opens a new window and instantly closes it. But if the command is not valid it falls back to shell and deosn't close the window
konsole -e sleep 20 --new-tab opens a new tab as it should

EXPECTED RESULT
--new-tab should work no matter the placement in the arguments

this  is my PC to execute 'konsole -h'  shows:

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

so I think -e  argument should at the last.
