UI for DNS

Hello Will
I've made some experiments around UI.
First approach: embedding KEditListBox directly into connection settings
window (http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/4219/22700991.png -- >
http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/5242/97772319.png, see attached dns.patch
file). Pressing "More..." button hides DNS row, shows KEditListBox below and
copies entered DNS value into list.
Main problem is lower entering speed - you need to switch between keyboard and
mouse to enter data. However it's intuitive enough.
So I decided to make second approach: use popup dialogs with list box

alt.patch). Pressing "..." popup window for "intuitive" editing, but there is
also faster, direct editing, which also has validator.
Comments are welcome.
Thanks,
Andrey
