Overview

This manual page documents briefly the KMyMoney KDE Application. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

KDE options

--caption caption: Use caption as name in the titlebar.

--icon icon: Use icon as the application icon. icon is the name of the icon, which can either be an absolute filename path, or otherwise the icon is sought for in places according to the normal KDE rules.

--miniicon icon: Use icon as the icon in the titlebar. icon is the filename of the icon, according to the same rules as for the --icon parameter.

--config filename: Use an alternative configuration file, instead of the default, which is normally located in /usr/share/config or in $KDEHOME/share/config

--dcopserver server: Set the address of the DCOP server to attach to.

--nocrashhandler: Disable crash handler, to get core dumps. This option has the same effect as definiting the environment variable KDE_DEBUG.

--waitforwm: Waits for a WM_NET compatible windowmanager.

--style style: sets the application GUI style.

--geometry geometry

sets the client geometry of the main widget. The geometry parameter follows the normal X convention for geometry, which is on the form:

: [widthxheight][{+-}xpos{+-}ypos]

Where width and height gives the desired minimum width and height, of the main application window. Both in pixels. A value of 0 specifies the default size. The optional xpos and ypos specifies the x,y-position that which is desired for the application window. Specifying negative values for x or y implies that the x or y position is to be measured from the left or bottom screen edge, instead of as in the normal case, with positive values, from the left and top edges.

Qt options

--display displayname: Use the X-server display displayname.

--session sessionId: Restore the application for the given sessionId.

--cmap: Causes the application to install a private color map on an 8-bit display.

--ncols count: Limits the number of colors allocated in the color cube on an 8-bit display, if the application is using the QApplication::ManyColor color specification.

--nograb: Tells Qt to never grab the mouse or the keyboard.

--dograb: Running under a debugger can cause an implicit -nograb, use -dograb to override.

--sync: switches to synchronous mode for debugging.

--fn, --font fontname: Defines the default application font. The fontname should be in the X logical font name description format XLFD. For a full description of the format see /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/xlfd.TXT Note that the application might override the font specified with its own font.

--bg, --background color: Sets the default background color and an application palette (light and dark shades are calculated).

--fg, --foreground color: Sets the default foreground color.

--btn,--button color: Sets the default button color.

This means that menus will go in the opposite direction, the scroll bar will be on the opposite side, etc. For a normal western layout that means that menus and tool bars will go from the right edge to the left, the vertical scroll bar will be on the left side and so on.

When deciding upon a language, the following resources are looked up, in order: KDE_LANG, configuration file, LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, LC_ALL, LANG.

KDE_UTF8_FILENAMES: Assume that all filenames are in UTF-8 format regardless of the current language setting. Otherwise the filename format is defined by the language.

DISPLAY: Specifies the X display to run KDE on.
