Socks configuration

[Topher Cyll]

Ryujin,

I'm having similar problems.  I'm using socks 4 and I've verified that my 
setup is working properly (works fine under Gnome, etc...).  I've got KDE to 
detect my socks library (Debian package: libsocksd), but I'm having 
absolutely no success getting any KDE app to use it.

I did a lot of searching to see if others were having similar problems, but I 
only found one or two other emails, and no one seemed to have gotten back to 
any of them.  I couldn't find any documented cases of anyone actually getting 
it working, so eventually I gave up.  

If anyone out there has ever made it work, I'd love to hear what steps you 
went through.

Best of luck,
Topher Cyll
