Is it possible to associate a page with a root item? I have not 
made the treelist mode where one can have child nodes 
so I don't know how exactly it works. If you can add an empty 
page to the root item, a workaround can be to detect the 
showEvent for that page and automatically open (using
KDialogBase::showPage(int)) the first child page when 
that happens.

Anyway. If you can't get this to work now without BC changes I 
suggest you make your own version of the KJanusWidget/KDialogBase 
for now (because, as you said, the "feature" is pretty annoying) and 
make all the  modifications you need and put them back later 
when the freeze is removed (after 2.0).
