Hi, Martin!

Why not the other way round? Extend QSocket with the missing support for 
SOCKS? Maybe that would be possible by just subclassing QSocket. Or one would 
have to change the QSocket code, but - hey! - Qt is GPL now!

I think that is a big problem in KDE development: There are too many classes 
doing just the same. That won't help keeping the libraries small and fast. 
And since everyone knows that KDE classes have very bad API reference 
documentation, it is really hard for a developer to choose the right one.

Why is there another KSocket class instead of using QSocket, which is just 
excellent? And there is QServerSocket, QSocketDevice and QDns, three more 
excellent classes, but noone seems to be willing to use them. What's the 
reason?

Bye,
	Burkhard
