This seems to be fixed for 3.1 final:

Yes, there's something called "Info list view", which is similar to
Konqueror's detailed list view. You'll find it at the toolbar or in
the "View" menu.

(I might be slightly wrong about the name, since I use a translated
KDE.)

Try for example:
  kstart --desktop 1 kwrite

Like this, for example:

A workaround is to put the commands you want in the K menu by using
the menu editor. Then, you can assign a shortcut key (and you can hide
the menu entry, if you don't want it to appear in the regular K menu).

How can that be? 3.1.1 hasn't been tagged in CVS yet, as far as I can
tell.

Sun didn't create StarOffice, they bought it from Star Division (a
German company, I think), who developed it until version 5.2. Since
then, it has really been made faster, but there's still a long way to
go. If you compare it to the upcoming MS Office 11, it doesn't look
too bad at all.
