I have changed it.

Looks like it. The slave needs to be deleted as well.

It seems to work now.

However, I seem to get a bunch of zombie io-slaves. Which made me
wonder why IO-slaves aren't launched using KProcess or a variation
there of. We solved a lot of Unix-process issues in KProcess and
KIOSlave seems currently right on track to redo all mistakes once made
in KProcess. 

If there isn't a reason for this I will merge parts of KIOSlave with
KProcess.

Cheers,
Waldo
