We certainly need desktop:// and remote:// ourselves and we can't have a
dependency on applications and that's just the same as the current problem
but in reverse.

I think you're right that they could go in frameworks. I don't think it
wouldn't bring any new dependencies and it already has a few ioslaves

The other option is we make Dolphin check for the KIO existing before
adding it to placesmodel.
