agreed, but i do think there is an opportunity here to try and separate the
platform integration bits out of KIO. otherwise KIO almost becomes a non-
starter for anything that isn't a desktop.
we don't necessarily need to rework the API very much, just modularize the
library so it is more reusable. my concern is that if we don't do this, we'll
end up with a lot of applications marooned on the desktop or off the desktop
due to have KIO (or not) or a lot of applications with multiple code paths for
this functionality. (libplasma already has one such code path!)
it might be tempting to say, "let's just find something else for non-desktop
stuff" but we have so much code using KIO and it is a rather good API and
library otherwise that it would be a damn shame to go that route.
