AFAIK, KDE's simply passing on the URL it gets (from wherever).  If the 
URL it gets has the username in it, it'll pass that on.  If it doesn't, it 
doesn't.

Which means, if you're putting it in as a bookmark, fill in the username@ 
bit and kde should keep it.

Else... since you were talking wrapper script and I do mostly bash 
scripting here, I was already creating a picture in my head of a big bash 
case statement.  Case $URL in... with the pattern matching some place you 
have have a user account, and the commands substituting in the appropriate 
username@ bit.  A dozen different places with user accounts would be a 
dozen different case-matches...
