So will there be some kind of KSafePopen class for KDE (I mean a class in 
which you are using fork, execve and dup instead of popen)? This could be 
kool for lazy coders. It would also enforce the safe use of popen, as you 
could simply grep all new commits for popen outside comments and reject 
patches containing popen.
What do you think about that?
Cheers,
Wolfgang
