The cause of this bug is that KUrlRequester opens it's fileDialog via the QDialog::exec () method, effectively making the FileDialog always modal. There exist two solutions two this problem then:

Get the relevant developer to allow a non modal usage of KUrlRequester or change the picture selection to another method. As recommended on IRC the nicest picture selection method (with previews in the dropwdown) is used by the wallpaper selector. Maybe that would be a nice alternative?
