But later on, it was pointed out to me that the matter wasn't fully investigated,
and looking a bit more into it, to see which KDE versions were affected (that
information was missing above), and when doing that, I found out that telnet.protocol
was affected too. Hence the additional delay and further investigation.

Do I really have to justify all my actions to you? I'm a bit sick of that now,
I have better things to do.

Investigating the CVS logs, when seeing the above information, to see which
KDE versions have the same Exec line in rlogin.protocol?
