I'm surprised that in all the discussion no one has suggested a
solution/workaround. Here's an outline that might work (I haven't tested
it):
1. Create a script that takes a smb: address with backslashes, and
runs "konqueror smb:addresswithforwardslashes" (by replacing the
backslashes using sed or perl.
2. Modify the smb.protocol file in $KDEDIR/share/services : change
the 'exec' line to point to your script.
Actually, I'm not sure that would work (since the konqueror instance would
look up the smb.protocol ioslave, and go into a loop), but perhaps there's
a way round this. Anyone have any idea?

Philip
