I really think this case needs to be handled for 3.4, via some mechansim..
even if it is hidden away in a config file and not easily exposed.
People who are running KDE on shared desktops have absolutely no control over
whether or not that machine has IPv6 enabled at a kernel or system level, but
for numerous reasons they may not want to have KDE looking up every host via
IPv6 - especially since it can have such a *huge* performance impact with
certain hosts (and even with compliant hosts, it still has a small impact -
an impact that is aggregated when you take the whole desktop into account).
If you don't want / need / care about Ipv6, then it shouldn't affect the
desktop negatively. I have found here that disabling IPv6 in kdelibs myself,
has had a noticeable increase in network performance, even though my local
DNS server seems totally IPv6 compliant from what I can see.
