Try something starting with a '3', you should be able to feed in four
numbers. Anything starting with a four or greater will only get three
numbers here as well. Weird, there must a limiter somewhere in the
source code itself ...

(Moments later; suggested background soundtrack: Homer Simpson saying
repeatedly "d'oh!") Yes, it is actually limited in the
SettingsDialog.cxx code itself:

    maxSliceSize = new QSpinBox( groupBox2, "maxSliceSize" );
    maxSliceSize->setEnabled( TRUE );
    maxSliceSize->setMaxValue( 4096 );
    maxSliceSize->setMinValue( 0 );


Can you patch that yourself to have a suitably big number where it
says 4096? I have no idea what might break, but that's where the limit
comes from. ebuild unpack and see for yourself in
/var/tmp/portage/app-backup/kbackup-0.5.4-r1/work/kbackup-0.5.4/src/SettingsDialog.cxx,
line 62 ... :)
