Review request for Dolphin and kdelibs.


Summary
-------

Hi all, this is my first attempt at a bug. I'm still getting my head around the KDE libraries so any feedback would be great. This is based on https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170608 which is for dolphin however the patch is for kfile in kdelibs.

The patch alters KUrlButton so that when you copy a local file:// url it gives you the absolute path.

E.g. Copies:
    /home/kde-devel/kde
instead of
    file:///home/kde-devel

This makes the path usable outside KDE apps.

I am assuming that if you have a KUrl with the protocol set to "file", then url() will always return the path QString starting with file://

Thanks
Shane
