Ok, but why did you sneak in this kind of change?
-  infoMessage( i18n("Opening connection to host <b>%1</b>").arg(m_host) );
+  infoMessage( i18n("Opening connection to host %1").arg(m_host) );
Did we decide against hostnames in bold?


This kind of "cleanup" doesn't really improve readability either:
-  if ( m_host != _host || m_port != _port ||
-       m_user != user || m_pass != pass )
+  if ( (m_host != _host) || (m_port != _port ) ||
+       (m_user != _user) || (m_pass != _pass) )

I remember this stuff being quite touchy. Did you test a few sites that time out?

Sounds good.
