Huh? It's a KDE application...you expected it to run as not-kde?

The command line options are just useful for setting it up initially, so
that it will run the GUI with those options. Comes in handy for scripting
and programmatically doing stuff.

If you are looking for a command-line application, you shouldn't be looking
at KDE applications, imo. They are both completely separate areas and that
just increases the difficulty to maintain both ends, especially when it
comes to trying to create a terminal-based UI in addition to working on the
regular Qt UI...
