There doesn't seem to exist, presently, a way to start multiple Konsole sessions from the command-line. I tried multiple "-e" directives, but Konsole seems to ignore all but the first.

Just simply supporting multiple "-e" directives would be enough to shut me up (and probably very easy to implement). However, the icing on the cake would be the ability to separately name each one. Off-hand, a way to do this without causing too much overhaul of the command-line syntax (and to keep from breaking older scripts that exec konsole), would be to have a "--newsession" directive, so that you could say something like:

konsole -e "ncftp foo.bar" -name "FTP" --newsession -name "shell" --newsession -e "tail -f /var/log/syslog"

Or something to that effect, anyway.
