Not doing it. Let the app do the user interaction, the slave isn't supposed
to do so. The slave can use SlaveBase::messageBox() to let the application
(in fact kio_uiserver) pop up a message box, but unfortunately this doesn't
include message boxes with a line edit. Of course if this is for a password
you can use SlaveBase::openPassDlg.
