I always call the Alt-F2 widget "krunner." I suppose in the pre KDE4 days that is technically incorrect. I think in KDE3/TDE the wonderful name is "Run Command." :) > > Darrell > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-devel-unsubscribe@... > For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-devel-help@... > Read list messsages on the Web archive: http://trinity-devel.pearsoncomputing.net/ > Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting > When I set the icon in the panel to --use nothing happened in Konqueror. I got the same response as I did before, i.e. it opened a new window. I checked: /home/keith/.kde3/share/apps/kicker/kate.desktop and /home/keith/.local/share/applications/kde-kate.desktop kate.desktop had the --use option added but apparently Konqueror was not using that to open Kate. I checked kde-kate.desktop file and --use had not been added to it. Since I had no clue what program would set --use in it, I set it by hand. After I did that, when I started a text file in Konqueror it reacted as you described in your bug report. I did a lot of testing of different CLI options in the kde-kate.desktop file and most but not quite all would not work when --use was used. I tried Kstart in the kde-kate.desktop file and tested it with various Kstart and Kate options and got the same results as above, most of the options were ignored. I tried starting Kate from a terminal, with various options, and had similar responses as the above--many options quit working when -use was used. Keith
