This proxy is going to be needed by the file dialog, obviously, so yes, I would like
to see it in kdelibs (with all the features that are going to make sense for the
file dialog).

Where you guys thinking of libkio or libkfile? I guess it belongs to libkfile if most
non-filemanagement-related applications are going to use that class only through the file dialog.
