imagine :  ¨konqueror /mnt/nfs"
I guess the most general approach is the  runner in charge of launching
konqueror is also in charge of autocompleting its arguments... Kdelibs has a
kfilecompleter or something similar, right? So the completer not being used
is more current runners fault than unneded preemptive design.


BTW, there is a mail in the mailing list called "more on information types",
I'd like an answer to that (so at least can finish the kbookmarks runner
patch)

Ok, done.
I get a crash in setHistory of the search term lineedit. May be related to
the completer somehow. Needs to investigate.
