I'd also consider a kio-locate really useful. What's the problem with 
systems not having locate installed? Either the configure script could 
check if locate is available and otherwise exclude kio-locate from 
compilation, or the kioslave should give an error message when it can't 
find locate. KDE already has lots of kioslaves which require other 
applications/libraries/hardware to work: smb, ldap, mac, vnc, ...
I did not look at the given link, but I suppose that kio-locate has a 
rather small footprint, so it won't dramatically increase the package 
size.

Regards,
Bernd
