Description Ben Kevan 2011-11-16 22:04:10 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

Trying to run konsole with a different title. Running it from krunner doesn't work correctly (actually doesn't work from a launcher icon either). 



Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1.) Alt + F2 to bring up krunner
2.) konsole --title "testingme"


Actual Results:  
Konsole Session w/ Default Title

Expected Results:  
Konsole Session w/ testingme title.

This is actually a problem of Konsole, instead of Krunner.

It works, at least in KDE SC 4.7.3. The tricky thing is it does not work when you already have some Konsole windows which are launched through menu or Krunner. See bug #205190 and bug #189184 for more explanation.

Although it works in KDE SC 4.7.3,  you may notice the window title specified by "--title" option will easily be replaced by the title of active tab. See bug #179142 for more information.

And in the upcoming KDE SC 4.8, due to the side effect of one commit which fixes bug #176902, the "--title" option won't work and the window title will always be the same as the title of active tab.
