In general, we don't use Bugzilla for long-term task tracking anymore; instead
we use Phabricator Tasks. If you'd like to start an effort like this, it's best
to use Phabricator for it, and then we use Bugzilla to track the individual
apps that need changes.

[kde] [Bug 117452] All applications should read from stdin where applicable

Nate, I appreciate all the work you have been doing lately in pinging ancient
bugs and closing the ones that are not or no longer valid, but I have to
disagree with you in this case (and in the case of Bug 117454).  KDE isn't just
a random collection of applications that behave entirely at the whim of their
developers, but rather a project to create a unified, coherent desktop
environment. This means (among other things) consistent user interface
guidelines and interoperability among applications.

The present bug is as a request for our official development guidelines
(formerly at

but now at ) to codify a -
command-line option as being standard interface behaviour (where appropriate)
so that our developers are at least aware of the need for it.  Strictly
speaking, the bug is "RESOLVED->FIXED" when KDE's developer documentation is
updated, not when every KDE application in existence comes into compliance with
it.

The idea of leaving this issue open as a tracking bug was a suggestion for
coordinating UI updates among our various UI gurus and application developers. 
That is, whenever a new issue is filed for a particular application to
implement the - option, it can simply reference this one so that the reporter
doesn't need to rehash all the information presented here, and conversely those
following the tracking bug will become aware of the dependent ones and perhaps
volunteer to help fix them.  Of course, doing things this way isn't strictly
necessary, though in my experience it's a fairly common one in collaborative
free software projects.

> I think it may be necessary to report this bug on a per-application basis,
Indeed. Any bug report with text like "every application should..." is unlikely
to be actionable. Not sure we need to keep this around as an umbrella bug
anyway.
