Description long 2015-12-14 17:26:31 UTC 
Description of problem:
When I start konsole I have to start two or more instances before it actually works.  The first instance or two displays a transparent window and title bar and does nothing.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
konsole5-15.08.3-1.fc23.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to kde
2. Right click desktop, "Konsole" or open an xterm and run "konsole"
3.

Actual results:
Transparent konsole window with title bar is created.  In the xterm it says:
[long@kite .config]$ konsole
QCoreApplication::arguments: Please instantiate the QApplication object first
[long@kite .config]$ The font for use in the terminal has not been matched exactly. Perhaps it has not been found properly.

Do you have multiple displays?  Are you using nvidia drivers?
Comment 2 long 2015-12-14 17:51:14 UTC 
Hi, I do have two displays.  I am not using nvidia drivers, it is intel drivers.
Comment 3 Martin Kho 2015-12-28 10:18:42 UTC 
Hi,

Same issue here with 2 monitors and AMD graphics card (R600g driver). When I start several instances of konsole (>5) plasmashell is getting very unstable. For instance, this shows up when switching desktops.

Hi,

Update: It seems that this issue has indeed to do with two-monitor setup. When konsole opens on my primary screen it works as expected, on the secondary screen it fails.
