I just want to reiterate in light of this comment that one of the issues I 
brought up was the fact that you couldn't *not* make "all" KDE applications 
work with the proxy.  A way to set proxies per-application, like how every 
application has a Shortcuts/Global Shortcuts, is something that would be 
useful -- especially if it were even more finely grained.  For instance, I 
end up using Pidgin instead of Kopete because I need to have some connections 
go through one proxy, some not go through a proxy at all...etc.
