No, I don't like this. It would increase the memory usage because every 
application that has used a file-slave once will stick to it till the end of 
times. If you want to do something like this you should do it in the slave 
pool maintained by klauncher:

When a slave isn't used any more by the application it is send back to 
klauncher. When another application needs a slave, klauncher will check its 
pool of slaves first before starting a new one.

Cheers,
Waldo
