            Bug ID: 368911
           Summary: Konsole re-uses EWMH -name when it reuses a process
           Product: konsole
           Version: 16.08.1
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: single-process
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: temporalabstraction at gmail.com

When a konsole window has been created with the `-name` option to give it an
EWMH name and a new window is spawned which re-uses the process (which is
apparently automatic if not spawned from a terminal) the new window will obtain
the EWMH name already given via `-name` to the other process. A current
workaround is simply spawning with `--separate` in which case the bug does not
occur.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. kill all existing konsole sessions
2. spawn a new konsole with `-name foo`
3. spawn another konsole session without any `-name` argument

An easy way to do it is using a hotkey daemon of some kind and just bind the
`konsole -name foo` and  `konsole` commands to two different hotkeys, this is
the exact scenario that caused the bug for me. 

Actual Results:  
The second konsole window will get the EWMH window name `foo`

Expected Results:  
The second window should get the EWMH name `konsole`
