Yes, that works but now there's another problem, see below. One of the 
problems was, I think, that findByPath() never returns None, even if you 
ask for a file that doesn't exist. It seems instead you get some undefined 
result. But this is a problem with the KDE API, which never returns 0 
(that's what the KDE documentation says).

Anyway, I think I've now built a small test case which crashes. I've 
attached it, see the comment marked with "***". Make sure that the 
filename in self.url really exists. I get "KCrash: crashing...." but the 
crash dialog doesn't appear so I don't have a backtrace. Actually it 
doesn't always crash, but at least the problem that the returned 
name().latin1() contains random characters appears each time.

Regards
 Daniel
