Right.  I wanted to propose to add the other version, but then I came up with 
the name prettyUrlOrPath(), which only proves that it is confusing.

To clarify: I'd propose to *add* something along fullUrlOrPath() [name open to 
discussion] which does not throw away any information but mostly resembles 
url().

BTW: Another use case (apart from krun) for that would be drag&drop into 
konsole - I keep removing file:// prefixes there..
