Looks fine to me. But if the support for this requires something platform/kernel/tools-specific
(I guess it does), then it would be good to hide or disable this checkbox when the system 
doesn't support it, to prevent confusion.

Also disable it while the support for it in kio_file isn't completed :)

Hmm, another way to ask for the password would be to have a field for it in
the properties dialog and then store it in kwallet... But this wouldn't help people
who disable kwallet, so I guess you'd still need the dialog popping up when
clicking on the icon, for such stone-age people...  :}
