Oops, you are right. The KApplication is just a thin wrapper around 
QApplication, so the regular qt options work, but those normally added by 
KApplication do not.

No, I have always had to use the single dash version.

For other available options, check the qt documentation,
and the konq-embed/src/main.cc file.
Although there are not many options useful for kiosk mode.

there is --statushide to change the timeout for hiding the statusbar,
and --sysfont, which can be used to chenge the font in dialigs.
I normally use -fn -the-long-x11-font-name-*- though.
