This is way too fragile. Imagine what happens if a "backupDisk" object gets 
added to konqueror....

But how do I know if I should use 'konqueror-mainwindow#1' or 
'konqueror-mainwindow#9'? For this to work there should also be a method to 
reliably find the mainwindow based on some criteria. (But which?) Do I get 
the name of the mainwindow when I open a new one?
