KURLCompletion & chdir from thread

It occured to me that KURLCompletion's use of QDir::setCurrent() is not very 
safe since it affects the whole process and not just the thread.

See e.g. http://twomix.devolution.com/pipermail/sdl/2004-March/060615.html

In particular Konqueror may start a new process while the KURLCompletion 
thread is still running with CWD set to the current URL instead of the 
default CWD ($HOME) This may cause such process to keep a mount point 
occupied.

Cheers,
Waldo
