Socks configuration

Dear KDE list,

I'm trying to configure kopete (kde-3.2) to use socks servers but I have no 
clue how to do it.

In "Internet & Network" options I checked the Enable SOCKS support and of 
course I installed the Dante socks server. It detects the library and the 
test result says "Success! SOCKS was found and initialized.".

Now I want to make kopete to connect to my socks5 server, how do I do that?  
where do I specify the port and ip address of the sock server?  do I have to 
configure and start the dante server on my desktop? or is just the libraries 
that are needed?

What does the socks configuration do? 

The socks server uses ss5.


Starting kopete from command line I get:

kdecore (KLibLoader): library=libsocks.so: No file names libsocks.so found in 
paths.
kdecore (KLibLoader): library=libdsocksd.so.0: No file names libdsocksd.so.0 
found in paths.
kdecore (KLibLoader): library=libsocks5.so: No file names libsocks5.so found 
in paths.
kdecore (KLibLoader): library=libsocks5_sh.so: No file names libsocks5_sh.so 
found in paths.
kdecore (KSocks): Found Dante SOCKS
kdecore (KSocks): SOCKS has been activated!


and a tcpdump clearly shows that kopete is not accessing the sock server but 
going directly to the MSN server:

11:04:20.103384 192.168.0.135.36370 > messenger.hotmail.com.1863: S 
1799339418:1799339418(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 4535808 
0,nop,wscale 0> (DF)


regards
Ryujin
