This is a problem, but I would prefer to keep the existing icons.  What I 
would propose is the addition of suffixing each directory name with `/', each 
FIFO name with `|', and each name of an executable with `*', identical to the 
-F option to ls (and similarly, a checkbox to turn this off could be added to 
the Konqueror settings.

The module itself, if it has an Admin mode, should have a wrapper with the 
Admin button...
