Looking at the code, I'd say it's a lack of documentation. A comment in the =

code:

 // OK: We say that we already have connected, but this isn't so yet!
 // If the connection cannot be established, it will look as being =

disconnected
 // again ("slotConnectionLost" is called).
 // Shall we differ between these?

So it seems to me that the code merely returns true here if the connection =
was =

initiated (not established) successfully and once the host not reachable (o=
r =

whatever) message is received, the connection is considered "lost".
So KGameNetwork should emit the signalConnectionBroken() signal then.

btw: The KGame library of libkdegames is unmaintained these days, I recomme=
nd =

against using it in new games. In fact it is supposed to be moved out of =

libkdegames for that very reason, see
http://community.kde.org/KDE_Games/API_cleanup
and the recent discussion of this on this list.
