Subject:    Patch to help with Qt command line args

Here's a patch to kdelibs/kdecore/kapp.cpp to add the other Qt command 
line arguments, so they are accepted by KCmdLineArgs.

Qt command line arguments still don't work (at least not geometry). 

I tried with kcalc, and I added argc, argv to the KApplication 
constructor, and they do get sent to QApplication, where Qt must do its 
thing.  I tested the Qt hello example with "-geometry -0+0" which puts 
it up in the upper left hand corner.  This works just fine.  But when I 
try Kcalc it does not work.

I don't have a good idea how all these parameters get dealt with and 
deleted here and there.  Who ever is familiar with these parts of KDE 
please take a look.  It is annoying to not have -geometry working.  I'm 
not sure if Qt is working properly and setting geometry, then having KDE 
override this or what.  But all of that is burried in the nitty gritty X 
stuff.

Thanks!

Mike
