           Summary: konsole caption is not correctly set when launching
                    more than one konsoles from desktop shortcuts
                    (*.desktop files)
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: gpall at ccf.auth.gr


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Problem reproduction:

Create on your desktop two program shortcuts for running konsole:

k1.desktop ->
user at debTest:~$ cat k1.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=
Comment[en_US]=
Exec[$e]=konsole --title "mytitle1"
GenericName=
GenericName[en_US]=
Icon=gnomemeeting
MimeType=
Name=k1
Name[en_US]=k1
Path[$e]=
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
X-DCOP-ServiceType=
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=
user at debTest:~$

and k2.desktop ->
user at debTest:~$ cat k2.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=
Comment[en_US]=
Exec[$e]=konsole --title "mytitle 2"
GenericName=k2
GenericName[en_US]=k2
Icon=gnomemeeting
MimeType=
Name=k2
Name[en_US]=k2
Path[$e]=
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
X-DCOP-ServiceType=
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=
user at debTest:~$

Then, from your desktop, find those shortcuts which should have terminal icons.
Click on k1 and you will see that a konsole is opening with caption "mytitle1"

Close it. Then click on k2 and you see a console opening with caption "mytitle
2". OK, so both of them do what they are supposed to do. Now without closing
the "mytitle 2" konsole, click on k1. A second konsole opens but without the
correct "mytitle 1" caption. Instead it says "user" or something like that...

For people using their konsole captions for automated input (using keepassx for
example) this is a much problematic bug...

thanks guys (and girls?) for this VERY helpful program!
