Tonio made a patch to for system:/ to go to /home/foo not
system:/home, I'm reluctant to change from upstream KDE but the patch
doesn't seem to cause any significant problems and stops a lot of
confustion so I'll add it back.  Openoffice has also been recently
patched to have KDE not pass it system URLs.

All patches accepted of course :)
