I could but that feature couldn't land in KDE 3.5.4 so it wouldn't be widely 
useful anyways. :(

In KDE 4 it could be done (and I need to port the patch to KDE 4 anyways), and 
it would even hopefully be easier. :)

Documentation for the CGI kioslave would indeed be nice however.  It doesn't 
even have to be marked up or anything, the documentation team is fine with 
plain text submissions.

Does anyone on the list have objections to me committing the fix then?  If not 
I'll probably commit tomorrow.
