That is what I have feared.

So under GNOME, MS Windows or other environments, we would have no KIO slaves, 
for example: zip: tar: ftp: fish: sftp: 

But then what makes KDE to be KDE, if the KDE programs have no remote KIO 
features anymore. (And I wonder how KMail would work, without smtp, pop3 and 
imap.)
