On 20 April 2002 I proposed to add a getHostname convenience function to 
kdelibs. Thiago Macieira wrote a proposal. I don't think it was ever 
added to the kdelibs. But I didn't check. If you want to re-read the 
thread search for the subject
  [RFC] Add getHostname convenience function to kdelibs? (was: Re:
  [PATCH] Make the default sending domain configurable)
on http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel.

Since I'm offline I can't give you the exact coordinates.

Regards,
Ingo
