All of these are now single-dash again (like Qt always made them, it's just that kcmdlineargs added double-dash equivalents for them). > --display displayname > Use the X-server display displayname. -display works > --session sessionId > Restore the application for the given sessionId. -session is still there. > --cmap > Causes the application to install a private color map on an 8-bit > display.

Ah, this is a kde4support thing (kcmdlineargs). If we think this is useful, we should add it to Qt. Is it useful? > --icon icon > Use icon as the application icon.
