It's interesting two steps is a good idea imho. The only problem I see is that 
you have more fields on the second page.

Hmmm... maybe it would be nice to modify the layout so that the name field is 
separated from the others?
And I'm wondering if and "advanced settings" button could be useful to reduce 
the number of fields in most case.

I'm really not a usability guru, I just throw my ideas... :-)

As a start, maybe it could be commited, Georges what's your opinion since you 
have the last word on knetattach?

Right!

Indeed. And I'm even wondering if krdc is so foreign that it couldn't be 
supported in knetattach directly...

Should we keep it in system:/ too (by default), since system:/ is on the 
desktop too.

Btw, which icon should we use for system:/ ? The current link use the "kfm" 
icon but it's not that nice imho. I noticed a "my_computer" icon in the 
crystalsvg theme, but it's not generated as a png. Just wondering what we 
should do about this... I'm not sure "my_computer" type icon is the best icon 
to choose, but it'll surely remind somethings to other DE users.

Lucky you! I'm dreaming of an AMD64 3500 every night! Instead I'm waiting 
hours on my box until kde fully compile... and it's a pain to do something 
else at the same time. :-/

Ok, I stop complaining. ;-)

It's really weird that it takes so much time on your box... It's immediate on 
mine which is really less powerful.
Someone else with the same issue than Aaron?

For the filemanagement profile maybe.

/me hides... ;-)
