Hum..  For people navigating FTP and NFS shares, the stop button might let them
recover control of Konqueror.  Maybe not, because at least in FTP konqueror is
still usable, but I suppose in hard-mounted NFS shares it should hang or something.

Is stop still useful as a bandwidth-conserving lever,. you know, for those using
konq FTP over dialup lines?  I have no idea, because I prefer not to - it is too
slow and it feels like opening a new connection whenever I enter a new folder,
instead of keeping the old one alive.
