I don't think it's wise to implement a URL redirection scheme that
requires every single KDE app to be individually modified in order to
make it aware of the redirection. This introduces a number of
loopholes, such as when a URL is acquired from anywhere except the
file dialog. For example, passing a URL to an application on the
command line will result in that URL remaining untranslated.
