100% agree.
 
a) completely override libkio for configured protocols
   Before executing KRun we check to protocol and call the appropriate
   application.
   I think the problem here is the configuration: How do we find out
   which application supports protocol xyz?
   How do applications "tell" Konqy that they support a certain protocol?
   (for MimeTypes this was kind of easy: KRun did the job of finding an
    application. Then we just checked the .kdelnk file. But how to do
    without KRun? How to find the .kdelnk? )

b) integration in libkio
   Perhaps someone has a nice idea of a possible integration in the
   ProtocolManager (without breaking KIOJob ;) ) ?

 Simon
