Yep.  You probably want to hack this into job.cpp && krun.cpp just like kmail.. 
BTW, please use "vnc:/", instead of "vnc://" since this is not even a
representation of some protocol in the true sense of the word.  Hmmm... on
the second thought maybe it is.  Anyways the main reason is not that but
rather the fact that VNC is not a a heirarchial based protocol or resource
representation at all.
