I could manage to do what I want. Basically it relies on the fact that I
can return different results when "listDir()" and "stat()". When my slave
receives a "listDir()", it only returns directories so that they can be
shown in the sidebar, but when "stat()" it returns a file on printer
object with the mime type set to "text/html". But now I have to persuade
konqueror to ask a "stat()" on a openURLRequest(). For that, the client
(sidebar or iconview) shouldn't pass the serviceType as argument, konqueror
will then stat the file to get its mimetype. This is possible in iconview
if the KFileItem contain a mimeType and a guessedMimeType. So I simply have
to add a fake UDS_GUESSED_MIME_TYPE in my entries on listDir().
To make it finally work in the sidebar, the code of dirtree_item.cpp has to
be changed a little bit such that externalMimeType() returns QString::null
if KFileItem::isMimeTypeKnown() is false.

I attached a patch for the changes. Should I commit? (don't thing it breaks
anything).

Michael.
