This is about SlaveBase::stat, not about the system stat :)
See any other kioslave, or the ioslave howto on developer.kde.org

That part is true, but the return value of an ioslave's stat is a UDSEntry.

That's unfortunately not true either, if you want konqueror to open an archive-like
file using an ioslave like it does for tar files. This currently needs a hack in konq_mainwindow.cc
but I plan on fixing that soon, now that Joseph has added some mimetype properties
which will allow to do this in a generic way (not sure why Joseph didn't proceed and
change konq_mainwindow as well at the same time, after we discussed the solution :)
