Those aren't URIs.  URIs MUST, per the relevent RFCs, use '://' to separate 
the protocol and the authority and '/' to separate the authority from the 
path.

kio_* accepts URIs, not something else (like UNC paths with smb: stuck on the 
front).  That said, it would be sweet if Klipper and Kmail (etc.) would 
recognize UNC paths and translate them to the appropriate URLs (although, I 
don't think they do so for POSIX paths)

I don't, but I've been the only (or one of two) linux users in various Windows 
domains (of different sizes) for years now, and am well-steeped in the linux 
eliteism.

I also don't know of any development in this direction, although who knows 
what the Win32 team is dreaming up.
