Whoops...

I miss-read.  Both the previous and the patched versions are wrong in a 
similar way.  As soon as we translate "frames" in any way, we break .kst file 
portability, without a lot more complexity than we have here.

I'm guessing that automatic scalar names are non-portable or broken everywhere 
in kst.

Lets go to non-translated scalar names everywhere in kst, which maintains 
portability.
