           Summary: geometry command line option is ignored
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: furue at hawaii.edu


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I think that the ability to set the size of the konsole window from the command
line as

   $ konsole --geomtry 80x24 # in terms of lines and columns
  or   --geometry 300x200 # in terms of pixels

is necessary.  Consider, for example, a situation where you use konsole in a
.desktop file as

   Exec=/usr/bin/konsole -e cli_command --geometry 80x24

It is annoying that the size of the window is affected by the "current"
setting.

The initial messge of Bug 152385 mentions this issue, but the subsequent
responses ignored it and focused on other ones.  I want the --geometry issue to
be separate.

In passing, it is strange that konsole does not issue an error message when
either --geometry or -geometry is specified.
