I can report that this bug is real, and it's a pain for me.  We have terminal servers milking the console ports of our servers, with each serial port served by  a telnet server on a different high numbered port.

The bookmarks I've created are of the form telnet://terminal-server:2043 .  The URL is not properly cracked into arguments into telnet.  If I try and put a space in instead of the colon, it gets translated into a %20 escape sequence.

The ktelnetservice code cracks these URL's correctly.

Here's the output on a konsole after selecting a bookmark "telnet://jshriver@terminal-server:2043":

$ telnet -l jshriver terminal-server:2043
telnet: could not resolve terminal-server:2043/telnet: Name or service not known

Here's the output on a konsole after selecting a bookmark "telnet://jshriver@terminal-server 2044":

$ telnet -l jshriver terminal-server%202044
telnet: could not resolve terminal-server%202044/telnet: Name or service not known

The presence of absence of username@ in the URL does not affect the bug.  It's correctly parsing that @ and making the -l argument, but it's not doing the same with :'s for port.  (No idea what it does with passwords.)

KDE 3.1.1a, Konsole 1.2.1, on a Debian Linux system.  Not sure if the IT folks here built from source, or downloaded the Debian "packages".
