I had this problem in Kontact before (when opening attachments) that some kde
code assumes that file:/// points to the root directory but in fact according
to RFC 1738

A file URL takes the form:
   file://<host>/<path>

So on Linux file:/// does not point to anything at all while on Windows
file:///C/ points to the assumed root directory. Having different behavior
there is bad.

The problem i see is that a fix to KURL to ultimately just return file:/// or
file://// on linux and file:///C/ could lead to regressions.
