Sorry, this functionality wasn't in the last pre-1.1 version I was working with before the commit, and I haven't checked on the 1.1 stuff since it was frozen and 2.0 became the latest development tree. I shall now change the names in the pre-2.0 libs to kdelibs3g. -- I am in London and would like to meet any Linux users here. I plan to work in London for 6 months and then I might move to some other place where the pay is good.
