Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.5) OS: Linux Starting Konsole gives this message: QMetaObject::invokeMethod: No such method Konsole::Application::loadCommandLineOptionsForNewInstance() Konsole also appears to ignore such requests as geometry including size and location requests via "--geometry 100x100+0+0" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: konsole --geometry 100x100+0+0 Actual Results: Konsole appears to be almost full screen height and width. Expected Results: konsole widget of size 100x100 located at +0+0 I would try to use the help facility but that seems to be rather useless. Typing in the "search" part of the help widget, the search button remains greyed out. --geometry from "konsole --help-kde" does not appear in the help.
The message about loadCommandLineOptionsForNewInstance() looks very weird. That name does not exist either in the code for kDE-4.5.5, nor in the commit history of konsole(AFAIK). As for the --geometry option, that seems a known bug. See bug #147094 and #165355. You need to use 'konsole --nofork --geometry ...' to make it really work. See comment #22, #23 of bug #155603. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 147094 ***
