Well, these are the contents of my info.protocol:

[Protocol]
exec=kio_info
protocol=info
input=none
output=filesystem
reading=true
defaultMimetype=application/octet-stream
determineMimetypeFromExtension=false

and it still happens. Does it happen for you too or is my KDE too old ?
The message appears after typing the ":"

(in the next time I will have cvs HEAD again :-)

Yes. Don't know neither.
Another flag in .protocol like "SupportsCompletion" or "IsSlow" ?
SMB is usually fast, file is in most cases fast, ftp, http are usually more 
or less slow, but not *that* slow. Don't know.

No, wouldn't help. Once the listing is started, mdir is started and the drive 
is in use. This leads to the ugly effect that when entering "floppy:/" the 
completion combo box appears more or less quite fast, but pressing enter 
leads to the error message ("Cant access drive, still busy"), since it is 
still busy from the previous mdir :-/
