Agreed, but that means ther'es probably nothing terminology can do.
I've reassigned to kwin-x11, assuming that you're not using wayland.

No, but it'd be simple to workaround with a shell script:

    #!/bin/sh
    sleep 2
    exec /usr/bin/terminology

Put that in your path somewhere, make it executable, and try using it
instead of the default launcher.
