Perhaps I should add another example:

Imagine the user editing an embedded spreadsheet in a KWord document.
Now the user decides: "Hey, I want to edit the spreadsheet in a separate
window" . This will make KWord issue a createShell() call on the KSpread
part, creating a new KSpread shell. IMHO this toplevel window (shell)
should have a "KSpread" caption, and not a "KWord" caption.

However currently it would have a "KWord" caption.

Ciao,
 Simon
