           Summary: calling
                    org.kde.KIO.Scheduler.reparseSlaveConfiguration via
                    dbus does not work
           Product: kio
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: faure@kde.org
        ReportedBy: Ronny.Standtke@gmx.net


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

I have the following use case: Proxy settings must be automatically changed by
a script (that changes ~.kde/share/config/kioslaverc) but running konqueror
instances must not be restarted to get the new proxy settings.

In the good old days of KDE 3 it was possible to trigger reparsing of KIO http
configuration with the following simple call:
$ dcop <program> KIO::Scheduler reparseSlaveConfiguration http

Now that I migrated to KDE 4 I wanted to do the same. DCOP is gone, so I spend
some time figuring out what I had to do. I learned that I can use qdbus to get
a list of valid destinations and can use dbus-send to send a signal. Example:
----------------
$ qdbus | grep konqueror
org.kde.konqueror-8084
$ dbus-send --session --dest=org.kde.konqueror-8084 /KIO/Scheduler 
org.kde.KIO.Scheduler.reparseSlaveConfiguration
----------------
(the last line was too long and has a line break, the org.kde... stuff is a
parameter to the dbus-send command)

Unfortunately, executing the last statement does not work. I still have to
restart konqueror to use the new proxy settings.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Try the example given above.

Actual Results:  
I have to restart konqueror to use the updated proxy settings.

Expected Results:  
Konqueror uses the updated proxy settings even without a restart.
