When I invoke kdialog --getexistingdirectory /home/user/Dropbox/ I expect to see the dialog start IN the startfolder used as argument, but I am presented with a directory tree of the root file system instead and have to manually browse for the correct location. For non techie users this is a problem to find their way. This has been in kdialog since many months, and I hoped it would get fixed. So hopefully someone can have a look into it.
It seems to expand only the first level of folders, if I choose /home/foo/bar it expands "home", if I choose /usr/share/applications it expands "usr"
