SUMMARY Konsole help says: -e <cmd> Command to execute. This option will catch all following arguments, so use it as the last option. If $ konsole -e mycmd --title MyTitle --flag; is executed, konsole consumes --title [title] as it where preceding -e <cmd> and only passes --flag to `mycmd`. EXPECTED RESULT Konsole shall pass all arguments following -e <cmd> regarless if they match any valid konsole option.
