This changes the mode only for the file dialog. I already did it, but
it doesn't change anything. If you look into 
kdelibs/kdeprint/management/kmwfile.cpp, you'll see how I use it. I set the
file dialog mode to "File|LocalOnly", without "ExistingOnly", and the dialog
works OK. But if you have a look at the recent changes to kurlrequester.cpp,
you'll see that the way how the url is retrieve from the KURLRequester object
has been changed: there's now a try to auto-complete the edit string. For
example if I have "/tmp/print.ps" in the edit line, and this file doesn't
exist, then a call to KURLRequester::url() gives me "/tmp/", which is not
what I want.

Michael.
