           Summary: workdir option sets starting directory only for the very
                    first session in konsole
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified

        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Hello.

I think the --workdir konsole option does not work as it should.

Yes, it opens the first tab in the right folder, but any newly opened
one starts in the directory konsole was run from.

The proposed patch (against kdebase-3.3.1) makes these changes:
 * when --workdir DIR is specified
   * the first tab is opened at DIR
   * any subsequent tab is opened in DIR, but only if the session has
     empty Directory setting
   * it is saved/restored by session management
  (* bookmarks work without change)

Any comments are welcome.

Please consider applying. It should be binary compatible with previous
versions.

Have a pleasant day.
