Well, that part is working. It is the problem of 20 password boxes popping up 
at once while 20 files are loaded at startup. Password caching won't help 
there, as the password boxes are already showing before the password cache is 
populated. I thought of doing some locking in kio_fish so that no two 
password dialogs are shown for the same host/user/port simultaneously, i.e. 
having all but one kioslave wait until the first pass dialog is dismissed.
Yet, this doesn't seem belong into kioslaves as I read in the original mail.
What better way is there?
