Ok, I see... thanks.

This only happens in the KCmdLineArgs::init(const KAboutData* ab)
overloaded member, not in the KCmdLineArgs::init(int _argc, char
**_argv, const KAboutData *_about, StdCmdLineArgs stdargs) which is
what people mostly use.


Btw, this code that strips the path is wrong on windows, which has '\'
as a dir separator...
I'll try to make a patch for both issues and post it on reviewboard.
