Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.3) OS: Linux Starting konsole background mode with:- konsole --background-mode fails with:- [baz@jackodesktop ~]$ konsole --background-mode QMetaObject::invokeMethod: No such method Konsole::Application::loadCommandLineOptionsForNewInstance() [baz@jackodesktop ~]$ Undecodable sequence: \001b(hex)[36l I have tested in KDE 4.5.3 and 4.5.2 with the same result. A process is started, but F12 does nothing. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: As above.
Can't reproduce it in KDE-4.7.0 That failure was probably due to that F12 is caught by something else. Try doing it with a clean account. Feel free to reopen if this still happens in recent version.
