So you're suggesting a change to KNetworkManager itself... I would happily 
create a patch ( as a timer would be a very easy solution ) but what is the 
chance that it would get accepted into your sources? I have commit rights for 
kde but don't worry i'll still use KdeReview ;) 

Does anyone else like this idea?
