Description Admc 2011-08-06 16:27:57 UTC 
Version:           2.7 (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

When I run e.g. konsole --geometry 80x24, konsole doesn't open 80x24 terminal. It opens terminal with last closed terminal size.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open konsole, change it size to other than 80x24, close konsole. Run "konsole --geometry 80x24".

Actual Results:  
Konsole opens with last size, not with set geometry

Expected Results:  
Konsole should run with set geometry

OS: Kubuntu 11.04
Kernel: Linux (i686) release 2.6.38-11-generic
Compiler: gcc

That --geometry option is provided by kdelibs, and is currently broken. See #165355. 

The workaround is always use '--nofork' together with '--geometry'. And the unit is pixel, not character.
