I just fought with yakuake the other day trying to get it to not use the -l 
flag to /bin/sh.  I think I know what may be afflicting you.

The second parameter to startProgram should be a QStrList (C++ is 
automatically casting the QString to QStrList for you).

QStrList args;

args.append("ls");  // Put command name first in args
args.append("-la"); // Then follow with all options.

// But startProgram() still needs the command name even though
// it is first in args.
session_terminal->startProgram("ls", args);

Let me know if this works for you.
