Ummm...  I like the way it is done in konqueror.  I think I will steal that idea
for kfm. However, I see one problem.  The "/home/" path is hard coded.  Is this
such a good idea ?  I mean if the home directory for users is set to anything
other than /home, it won't work.  How can we find the HOME directory of
users ?  This particularly becomes an issue if the "root" user does ~joeuser and
the users home directory is something other than /home, for example /users/joeuser.
