Version: (using KDE 4.2.4) OS: Linux Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages Problem reproduction: Create on your desktop two program shortcuts for running konsole: k1.desktop -> user@debTest:~$ cat k1.desktop [Desktop Entry] Comment= Comment[en_US]= Exec[$e]=konsole --title "mytitle1" GenericName= GenericName[en_US]= Icon=gnomemeeting MimeType= Name=k1 Name[en_US]=k1 Path[$e]= StartupNotify=true Terminal=false TerminalOptions= Type=Application X-DCOP-ServiceType= X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false X-KDE-Username= user@debTest:~$ and k2.desktop -> user@debTest:~$ cat k2.desktop [Desktop Entry] Comment= Comment[en_US]= Exec[$e]=konsole --title "mytitle 2" GenericName=k2 GenericName[en_US]=k2 Icon=gnomemeeting MimeType= Name=k2 Name[en_US]=k2 Path[$e]= StartupNotify=true Terminal=false TerminalOptions= Type=Application X-DCOP-ServiceType= X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false X-KDE-Username= user@debTest:~$ Then, from your desktop, find those shortcuts which should have terminal icons. Click on k1 and you will see that a konsole is opening with caption "mytitle1" Close it. Then click on k2 and you see a console opening with caption "mytitle 2". OK, so both of them do what they are supposed to do. Now without closing the "mytitle 2" konsole, click on k1. A second konsole opens but without the correct "mytitle 1" caption. Instead it says "user" or something like that... For people using their konsole captions for automated input (using keepassx for example) this is a much problematic bug... thanks guys (and girls?) for this VERY helpful program! G.
That is caused by konsole trying to be single process application when started from menu or shortcut. It is actually the same as bug #189184, although that one is about the --name option. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 189184 ***
