Sounds like Kile is using the static QFileDialog::openFileName() function
to get a filename to open, this function uses the native dialog on all
platforms by default and hence would open the windows native dialog.

On the other hand, saving seems to be done through KFileDialog as you say
it opens the KDE file dialog.

On a Linux system with a KDE desktop there would be no noticeable
difference, since the 'native platform file dialog' there is the KDE file
dialog and hence the static function would open that one.

Thats of course just a guess based on the behaviour you describe. But if
this is really happening it is a bug in Kile, though its not clear which of
the two cases is buggy. That depends on the intent of the Kile developers,
i.e. do they want native platform dialogs for open/save or do they always
want KDE dialogs....
