Command-line Options
When Konsole is started from the command line, various options can be specified to modify its behavior.
--helpList the various options.
--profile fileStart Konsole using a saved set of sessions.
--list-profilesList all of the available profiles.
--background-modeStart Konsole in the background and bring to the front when the F12 key is pressed.

--workdir dirOpen with
dir as the working (starting) directory.
