Should be fixed in SVN. Missing delete only at destruction.

DatabaseUrl is a KUrl, which is a QUrl, which is implicitly shared, so it's 
passed by value and we dont do any new/delete.
I suspect that the Urls are kept somewhere inside KIO when they are passed to 
the IOSlaves, but I dont know. It's difficult but not impossible to lose an 
implicitly shared object's data...
