Description Cyril42e 2025-03-27 15:26:43 UTC 
SUMMARY

After switching from Fedora 38 to Fedora 40 (fresh install), I noticed that my automation running Konsole --tabs-from-file was not working anymore, i.e. the Konsole window appeared in the activity tab but there was no visible window per se on the screen.

After investigating a bit, I found that:
- 'xwininfo' shows that the window is unmapped (Map State: IsUnMapped)
- 'xdotool windowmap' fixes the issue and make it appear on the screen

Note that I am running Gnome desktop with Mutter and X11, not KDE.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create file /tmp/konsole-tab with a single line "title: Home ;; workdir:/home ;; command: /bin/zsh"
2. Run "konsole --tabs-from-file /tmp/konsole-tab"

OBSERVED RESULT

No window appears

EXPECTED RESULT

The konsole window appears

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Hi - just to check:

* Does the Konsole window appear as normal without the --tabs-from-file option?
* Does the --tabs-from-file option work as expected in a Wayland session?

(Thinking this may be a recurrence of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=488396 )

Thanks!
