Package: kdebase-bin
Version: 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6
Severity: important

Hi,

kstart seems to ignore the --geometry option.  For example,

  kstart --geometry 96x96-0+0 --windowclass XClock  xclock

doesn't place xclock at the upper-right corner.  I tried with
konsole in place of xclock, but it didn't work, either.

Regards,
Ryo

Hello

kstart doesn't have a --geometry option itself.

--help-kde is a set of options for the KApplication class (in kdelibs) that 
can apply to an application's window. As kstart doesn't open a window of its 
own, these options are ignored.

I'm closing the bug because there is nothing we can do ourselves. You can file 
a wishlist in http://bugs.kde.org to the kstart product to add this option in 
kstart itself if you really need it (but kwin window-specific settings might do 
the trick). Or file a bug (at bugs.k.o too) on the kdelibs product to remove 
these options when not used.

Regards
