Actually this feature is already documented as being provided in KDE..
The gzip kioslave description in 'Info Center' states that it will already
behave in the desired fashion. I myself have wondered how you actually get
this working. Should we file a bug against the kioslave description as well?
Mark
gzip
gzip is a compression program
The gzip kioslave is not directly usable, and is intended for use as a filter.
For example, the tar kioslave can filter a file through the gzip kioslave, in
order to display the contents of a tar.gz file directly in a Konqueror
window.
If you click on a file compressed with a gz extension in Konqueror, this
kioslave is used to uncompress it and display it as a normal (uncompressed)
file.
If you are a developer, and would like to use the gzip filter, you can find
documentation on using kioslaves at http://developer.kde.org
See the manual: gzip.
