single click in file open dialogs in KDE4.1

Hi,

In my KDE 4.1, there's something that doesn't seem right:

If in system settings, mouse&keyboard, I set the option "Double-click to open files and folders", then it doesn't actually  listen to that setting.

In a file open dialog, it opens a file already with a single click. This makes it very hard to select multiple files in the dialog (e.g. when opening files with kate), because if you press CTRL and click on the file, instead of just making a selection of it, it opens that 1 file and closes the file open dialog.

Is this really the intention? How can I select multiple files that are not all below each other?

Is it the intention that it doesn't listen to the double click setting? And is it the intention that the behaviour is inconsistent with any other desktop environment? I mean, they didn't just change something universally accepted, right?
