Yes, but this requires Qt 5.6 at least.
Probably not a problem for KDE Applications 17.04, but it will prevent
distributions that still use Qt 5.5 to backport the fix (I don't know if any of
them ship konsole 16.08 though).

Another workaround would be to make the '-e' option not take any arguments at
all, then the actual command would be the first positional argument.
(disadvantage: QCommandLineParser will not complain if there is no command at
all after '-e', and the command itself may not start with a '-' but that can be
ignored I suppose)

Another way I see to fix the problem is to parse the command line manually
before handing it over to QCommandLineParser, and strip off '-e' and all that
follows (and handle it manually).

Actually I experimented myself with both a bit already, but had no time yet to
get it into a fully working shape...
