kdialog: --caption vs --title

Hi,
I have discovered a situation where a commandline argument is not correctly
used:
I was working on Project Portland's xdg-file-dialog script, which uses kdialog
on KDE.
kdialog --help says it understands an option called --title, however
kdialog --title "foo bar" --getopenfilename /tmp
just has the caption "KDialog"
The kdialog code uses the --title option it works for example
with --getexistingdirectory,
However it is used to set the dialog's caption property which is overwritten
by KApplication::setTopWidget later on, which uses KApplication::caption()
Since --title is a documented kdialog option, it should work IMHO.
--caption works and seems to behave better, e.g.
kdialog --caption "foo bar" --msgbox "commandline options should work!"
gets a caption like this: "Information - foo bar"
while
kdialog --title "foo bar" --msgbox "commandline options should work!"
gets a caption like this: "foo bar - KDialog"
Any ideas how to solve this correctly?
Cheers,
Kevin
