Because the symbols where not exported we recompiled the same object<br />
three times, one for the private library, one for the desktop<br />
application and another for the KPart, all of those having a static<br />
object inside of the same compilation unit - but linked in three<br />
different objects.</p>
<p>This added a static data in three different objects, the object that<br />
was supposed to be a singleton (!) - The result: KonsoleSettings::self()<br />
in mainwindow.cpp had one pointer, in TerminalDisplay had another,<br />
making the singleton useless.</p>
<p>Having just one singleton fixes a major misdesign in Konsole:<br />
There's a call-chain starting from main.cpp that goes thru all objects<br />
changing every setting needed, and most of the calls are just forwarding<br />
calls to another object.</p>
<p>With this fixed we can remove this call-chain, and do a<br />
connect(KonsoleSettings::self(), &KonsoleSettings::settingsChanged(),</p>

<p>making the code much smaller and easier to figure out what's going<br />
on.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R319 Konsole</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>BRANCH</strong><div><div>fixKConfigSingleton</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D13891">https://phabricator.kde.org/D13891</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>AFFECTED FILES</strong><div><div>src/CMakeLists.txt<br />
