Description Jon Hanson 2003-01-13 10:50:59 UTC

I noticed that kstart seems to be ignoring the --alldesktops, --skiptaskbar, and
--ontop options. I was attempting to start gkrellm2 with the following command:

kstart --window gkrellm2 --ontop --skiptaskbar --alldesktops /usr/bin/gkrellm2

gkrellm does appear however there is an entry for it in the taskbar, it is not
on all desktops, and it does not sit on top of other windows.

My compile options are:

-O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -mmx -sse -sse2

Interesting. I just tried out kstart in kd 3.1 and while these options take effect for some apps 
(xedit), they don't for others (xmms). I don't have gkrellm2 to test, but it ought to work with 
everything, anyway... 
Needs investigation.

I also notice this behavior in KDE 3.1.

There are a couple of mistakes in the compile options I used. They should read:

-O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -mmmx -msse -msse2

Possibly bugs.kde.org #49375.

I hope they fix this upstream - it looks related to bug #13853, but there's
nothing we can do about it on this end.  Closing.
