  KDE options

--caption caption
    Use caption as name in the titlebar.

--miniicon icon
    Use icon as the icon in the titlebar. icon is the filename of the icon, according to the same rules as for the --icon parameter.

--config filename
    Use an alternative configuration file, instead of the default, which is normally located in /usr/share/config or in $TDEHOME/share/config

--dcopserver server
    Set the address of the DCOP server to attach to.

--nocrashhandler
    Disable crash handler, to get core dumps. This option has the same effect as definiting the environment variable TDE_DEBUG.

--waitforwm
    Waits for a WM_NET compatible windowmanager.

--style style
    sets the application GUI style.

--geometry geometry
    sets the client geometry of the main widget. The geometry parameter follows the normal X convention for geometry, which is on the form:

        [widthxheight][{+-}xpos{+-}ypos]

    Where width and height gives the desired minimum width and height, of the main application window. Both in pixels. A value of 0 specifies the default size. The optional xpos and ypos specifies the x,y-position that which is desired for the application window. Specifying negative values for x or y implies that the x or y position is to be measured from the left or bottom screen edge, instead of as in the normal case, with positive values, from the left and top edges.

  TQt options

--display displayname
    Use the X-server display displayname.

--session sessionId
    Restore the application for the given sessionId.

--cmap
    Causes the application to install a private color map on an 8-bit display.

--ncols count
    Limits the number of colors allocated in the color cube on an 8-bit display, if the application is using the QApplication::ManyColor color specification.

--nograb
    Tells TQt to never grab the mouse or the keyboard.

--dograb
    Running under a debugger can cause an implicit -nograb, use -dograb to override.

--sync
    switches to synchronous mode for debugging.

--fn, --font fontname
    Defines the default application font. The fontname should be in the X logical font name description format XLFD. For a full description of the format see /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/xlfd.TXT Note that the application might override the font specified with its own font.

--bg, --background color
    Sets the default background color and an application palette (light and dark shades are calculated).

--fg, --foreground color
    Sets the default foreground color.

--btn,--button color
    Sets the default button color.

--name name
    Sets the application name.

--title title
    Sets the application title. This option might, or might not appear in the title bar caption, depending on the application. To change the caption, use the --caption option instead.

    Forces the application to use a TrueColor visual on an 8-bit display.

    Sets XIM (X Input Method) input style. Possible values are onthespot, overthespot, offthespotandroot.

--im XIM-server
    Set XIM server.

--noxim
    Disable XIM.

--reverse
    Mirror reverses the whole layout of widgets. This means that menus will go in the opposite direction, the scroll bar will be on the opposite side, etc. For a normal western layout that means that menus and tool bars will go from the right edge to the left, the vertical scroll bar will be on the left side and so on.

    Assume that all filenames are in UTF-8 format regardless of the current language setting. Otherwise the filename format is defined by the language.
