I attach here a patch which tries to implement the basis to have chown/chgrp 
virtualized in SlaveBase for KDE 4.
I think this is important to get in as API will soon be frozen.

Of course the implementation is not complete, but I hope at least the API is 
complete to start to implement the real working code (doing chmod) later on.

Can someone give me a pointer where chmod() hast to be implemented at least 
for local files to start with ?
