You don't misunderstand me, but I'm not so inside KDE developing to understand 
all the benefits and the advantages I can get in this way. I haven't so much 
time to divide KSniffer in 2 parts: a text sniffer and a GUI for the text 
sniffer. For me it's simplest have just one piece that sniffs and displays 
the sniffed packets. I'm trying to write KSniffer because the only GUI 
sniffer I know it's written with GTK and no with Qt/kdelibs. The problem is 
to understand sometime of libpcap programming. Ethereal is the only and the 
best GUI sniffer program I know and I can't pretend to do better, but just to 
trying to write something like that for KDE and made it availbale to KDE 
community. If no one is going to use it I don't care. I'm trying to do my 
best because it's my little dream, my personal challenge to write the code 
for this kind of program. I like network programming.
