Hi!
I remember the discussion about how to offer the user easy access to the 
different services provided by kioslaves.
No (novice) user will enter lan:/ or others, because he/she does not know the 
command.

IMHO this could be solved partly by providing a K-Menu -> Services with 
entries where services like ftp, smb, lan, kamera etc could be called.
The only problem so far is, that I do not know how to supply a hostname at 
runtime in a command like "kfmclient exec ftp://<hostname>".
By default I would offer localhost, but this migth be a problem if the 
service is not running on the localhost.

any ideas?

BTW I know that this problem is partly solved in the "sidebar" , but the user 
has to start konqueror first to get the camera menu which might be not 
inituitive.
