Reassigning to kdelibs/kio:

We use KFileDialog::getExistingDirectory to ask for a local directory. The API
docs are explicit that this is about choosing a local directory only.
However, in the context of network shares, users are tempted to enter smb://
URLs in the line edit at the bottom of the dialog. In this case, the protocol
is cut off and only the path is returned from the dialog. 

If using getExistingDirectoryUrl (supposed to return local or remote) to catch
this error in a user-friendly manner, I also get a file:// URL back when
entering a smb:// url.
