F19 konsole --title weirdness

Hi,
I'm having a strange effect with KDE's konsole terminal emulator.
I configured multiple keyboard shortcuts to start konsole with ssh to
different machines, like this:
Alt-A: konsole --title machineA -e slogin machineA
Alt-B: konsole --title machineB -e slogin machineB
Alt-C: konsole --title machineC -e slogin machineC
Starting the consoles works fine, but the title only matches for the
first invocation of a konsole. Any further konsole started parallel to
the already running konsole's gets a default title:
1. Alt-A: konsole title "machineA"
2. Alt-A: konsole title "Shell - Konsole"
3. Alt-B: konsole title "Konsole"
4. Alt-A: konsole title "Shell - Konsole <2>"
5. Alt-B: konsole title "Konsole <2>"
When looking into the process list, it turns out that only a single
konsole process is running, maintaining all konsoles.
However, when starting konsole from the command line, the --title is
honored! Looking into the process list, it turns out that, when
starting from the command line, there's one konsole process per
invocation, rather than a single konsole for all shortcut invocations,
even if already another konsole started via shortcut is running.
How can I get the same, sane command line behaviour when using the
keyboard shortcuts?
Thanks,
Corinna
