While Giles is correct and you should report it in BKO, there is unf. no 
way that we can use Firefox or another default browser for this 
authentication.

Internally the code uses the konquerer libs to do it's communications 
and thus when authentication is needed it will use the konquerer interface.

I'm not 100% sure about this as I've not looked at the flikr code but I 
know the Gallery code quite well and it seems to do this. I think it 
could probably be modified to use the core Qt HTTP stuff but not sure if 
this would be reinventing the wheel a little (may require special 
handling of 401 Auth Reqd responses which is already there if you use 
the konquerer/KHTML stuff)

Certainly a dependance on konquerer should be added to the package on 
your system if this isn't changed.
