confirmed on WinXP. Also happens in the two other places, where we're asking 
for an existing directory (both at Settings->General: "Directory where rkward 
may store files", and custom initial directory).

It's definitely an issue in kdelibs, somehow. We're certainly not asking for a 
non-KDE-style dialog at any of these points. With luck, it has been fixed, 
meanwhile, and "all" we need to do is update the runtime version of KDE (in 
case you want to give that a try: essentially, install using the custom 
installer, using the latest KDE on Windows).

No good idea how to work around it from our side.

Regards
Thomas
