Hi,

 I saw some commits regarding this, so I'm just asking for confirmation 
and reasoning. Is it desired from now on to see things like 
file:///home/andris/Desktop in Konqueror's location bar when browsing 
local directories or similar strings in Kate, etc. for files 
(file:///somedirectory/foo.txt)? I can understand that this is more 
correct, but I think many users will complain and this change might 
break some applications that check if an url starts with "file:" and 
remove that string from the url.

 If this the new desired behavior, what is the exact reasoning behind 
it, taking in account that file:/somedir was enough until now? A link 
to some bug report or other document is enough.

Andras

PS: kdelibs is from today morning, kdebase is compiling now, but I think 
the change is in kdelibs (KURL).
