Looks extremely ugly... :-(

Maybe we can implement a factory class properly, with virtual methods, for 
those operations, allowing one to override any standard Qt dialog. KDE could 
even provide its hooks in the form of a Qt plugin, so that any Qt-only 
application uses KDE-style dialogs, just as it uses the Oxygen style.

Another thing to consider is whether those are allowed to return file names 
only or full URLs. Since KDE applications would use KIO to open or save 
files, full URLs would be preferable, including in the print dialog.
