At least with KDE 3.0's file manager/Web browser Konqueror, file name
URI's appear to be of the form

	file:/foo/bar/...

so that only "file:" should be stripped off.  I've checked in a change
to do that, and can now drop capture files from Konqueror into Ethereal.

Perhaps we should look for "file:" followed by an arbitrary number of
"/"s, and, at least on UNIX, strip off all but the last "/".
