            Bug ID: 373905
           Summary: dbus - can not refer to the current instance
           Product: konsole
           Version: 16.12.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: tomaszc at o2.pl
  Target Milestone: ---

In konsole version 16.08 in dbus you could refer to the current instance, for
example:
qdbus org.kde.konsole $KONSOLE_DBUS_SESSION setTitle 1 'Title'

After upgrade konsole to version 16.12 this is not possible, you must specify
the PID.
qdbus org.kde.konsole-28263 $KONSOLE_DBUS_SESSION
org.kde.konsole.Session.setTitle 1 "Title2"

When there is more than one process konsole, you can not be determined
automatically PID. This makes it impossible unambiguous reference to the
current process of konsole.

I know that it is possible to run multiple windows in a single process konsole,
but it has two problems:
- You have to remember to create a new window instead of the process,
- In the case of crash you lose all the windows - because they were in a single
process,

If the PID option for some reason must stay, please add the reference to the
current instance for example:

qdbus org.kde.konsole-current $KONSOLE_DBUS_SESSION
org.kde.konsole.Session.setTitle 1 "Title2"

or system variable with current instance like KONSOLE_DBUS_SESSION, example:
#echo $KONSOLE_DBUS_INSTANCE
org.kde.konsole-28263

to make it possible:
qdbus $KONSOLE_DBUS_INSTANCE $KONSOLE_DBUS_SESSION
org.kde.konsole.Session.setTitle 1 "Title2"
