Bug#563352: [konsole] Interprets -e in a way inconsistent with x-terminal-emulator policy
Package: konsole
Version: 4:4.3.2-1
Severity: important
As reported in upstream #170867, konsole's interpretation of the "-e"
argument is different from xterm's. This is a problem in Debian as an
xterm-compatible behavior is mandated by policy 11.8.3 "Packages
providing a terminal emulator":
Support the command-line option -e command, which creates a new terminal
window[77 <http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/footnotes.html#f77>]
and runs the specified command, interpreting the entirety of the rest of
the command line as a command to pass straight to exec, in the manner
that xterm does.
