IMHO we should provide the args via the KInstance constructor and should
also add support for "pseudo commandline arguments" in KLibLoader.

The simplest point is: I'd like to be able to set the caption in
Konqueror.

However I cannot do this by calling KApplication::makeStdCaption.
(this works only in standalone mode)

If we hack support for part/view-specific captions into 
Canoosa^T^T^T^T^T^TKParts, then it might be good to also change the icon,
when the active view changes, because having a caption like "KSpread -
Blah" but still seeing the KWord icon looks even more confusing IMHO :)
