Ah, right, this is a problem.
In fact, it makes sense for all kioslaves that URL are not understood if
they're not installed, except for the "file://" URLs. You don't need a
kioslave to read a file on your hard disk ;)
I would suggest moving only file.kdelnk to kdelibs.
Or better : have file:/ urls recognised by KURL even if no .kdelnk is installed.
Torben ?


BTW, we have the same problem with tar : no kioslave currently exists, so
no URL containing "tar:/" is considered valid. This is not really a problem 
for konqy, since kio_tar doesn't exist anyway, but it's a problem for
kurltest which likes to test tar urls ;)
