Hi!

KDE claims to be network transparent, which is totally true for all (or at 
least most) KDE applications.

But many important non-KDE applications (gimp, OO obviously, Amarok less 
obviously, the user usually does not know about the xine engine behind) are 
embedded nicely in the KDE desktop, but lack full support of KIO. 

see also comment 3
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131259

IMHO KDE should handle this situation more gracefully by telling the user, 
that network transparency is not supported for this application instead of 
leaving it to the application to issue error messages like mentioned in 
comment 3 above or "file not existent....".
