Think of DCOP, for instance. I agree with you that the classes are in the=20
wrong place: they should be in Qt or even lower.

The result of that is that neither libDCOP nor aRts can use those classes.

SSL classes: libqca
network classes: libkdecore
certificate management and UI: libkio

KSecureSocket could go in either of the latter two.
