[Kstars-devel] Wrong magnitudes?

Hi,
  I was just checking saturn's magnitude, and kstars gives "3.7", while xephem "0.4".
At start I thought maybe kstars won't take into account the rings, but then
on Mars it gives 17.3!! Maybe it's because I'm using an older version and
this is now fixed. I searched http://bugs.kde.org and found nothing relevant.
Here's a screenshot: http://users.hol.gr/~jonnyb/kstars.png
  This is on an updated Gentoo box with kde-3.5.5 and kstars-3.5.5.
Sorry if I'm doing something very wrong here...
Thank you for a great open source program!

Yiannis
