Sorry, I'm using kde 3.3.2, debian unstable packages.

Not in the debian packages, at least not on my computer :-( I had this
same problem with kde 3.3.1

So does kdelibs (I don't know which part is responsible for this)
check if ipv6 is enabled only on configure time or also at runtime?

For Distribution-Packages it needs to be runtime, because the
distribution mainatiner can of course not check wether the users have
IPv6 enabled or not.
