True, but there's at least one more: KRemoteEncoding. I had thought there 
would be more, but after taking a look at the library, I don't see them.

So separating them would be no gain in performance. But I don't withdraw 
my request to properly mark them as ioslave-specific classes.

The only solution for that would be to split KIO into two libraries: the 
UI-side and the non-UI-side. That's also probably not worth the effort, 
unless we can somehow move the non-UI stuff into the network library (the 
one that links to libQtNetwork) without loss of functionality.

Yes, the Job classes require UI, so that they can show password dialogs, 
progress bars, etc.. The question is: can we separate enough the MIME 
type stuff from UI?
