Which brings up another problem on the wishlist/TODO for kio_fish: 
Synchronizing password dialogs. Users are annoyed by loading up kate with 20 
docs reopened at startup, all of them via kio_fish, and 20 password dialogs 
pop up. Using 'keep password', they would only have to enter the password 
once.

What can be done there?
