Yes, and you can put url's like fish://webserver/ or ftp://ftpserver or (if kio_smb works well enough) smb://sambaserver/share or (if kio_lan works well enough) lan://localhost there. You can't beat opening a html page from an ftpserver from Konqueror in Quanta, and just being able to hit CTRL-S. Even when Gnome eventually gets a tree view in the file dialog (AFAIK coming soon), they still won't have this funtionality for quite a while ... Now we just need to have a replacement for kio_smb, which smbmount's instead of smbclient's (which could get things like locking between windows and linux clients etc working).
