In my case there will not be another client, but a dedicated (non-Qt)
server. However, when I do this:

KGameClientSocket *game_sock = new KGameClientSocket("localhost", 1234, this);

[client connects. great. lets send a command]

QByteArray msg;
QDataStream s(msg , IO_WriteOnly);
s << ".gl";
game_sock->sendMessage(msg);

[oops.]

My server does not get ".gl" as input. Makes sense, because Qt of course
mangles the data stream to be independant of lots of stuff. Nonetheless, is
it possible to send raw data over the game socket with KGameClient? Some
games (mine) will not connect to another Qt/KDE application, but to a
dedicated server.
