But we should have this option anyways don't you think ?  Those who prefer to
type in the application name can do so.  But what if you do not know the
application name and it is not listed in the treelist.  You would have to go
out of your way to find out where the app is.  What I think we should have is a
"Browse..." button that launches a KFileDialog with the executable filter set. 
This way everyone can have it thier way ...  What do you think ?  If no
objections, I can implement this.
